Top 5 reasons not to avoid writing in this blog
Well, it’s been a long time since I wrote in this blog and I apologize to the hoards of loyal readers (if you’re reading this you’re probably the only one). So I figure I could psyche myself up for this but writing a little list of the top 5 reasons to not avoid it any longer:
- I still care about the topic of this blog - a mishmashup of web 2.0, web culture, businessy, marketing and design. I have just been too busy actually living it to write it all down. But that will have to stop. I can’t avoid the void any longer!
- Writing this blog forces me to think. When you go through your professional life and you don’t take the time to stop and put it all down in words, a lot gets lost in the bustle. So this is a record of what is going on in my head.
- I’m applying to get into an MBA program right now and I need a place to write down all the brilliant things I will learn. I won’t know if I get in until May but I’m currently applying to McGill’s Japan MBA program which will allow me to keep working and study on the weekends. The bottom line is self-improvement is a good investment and if this MBA don’t kill me I don’t know what will.
- Oh man, I have two more reasons to go. Think fast Lance! Well, as some of you may know I have spent a lot of time in Second Life for the past year becoming a “world famous virtual artist”. In that little adventure I have been posting on a different blog all about art and being famous and stuff. But I first life is getting pretty exciting and I’ll explain to you why (patient reader) in my last reason.
- I have a new job title, Lead Innovation Strategist. Do I hear chuckles in the peanut gallery? Yes, that is a real title and I’m part of a merry gang of mixed nuts working hard to create new businesses at my company. This is one of the motivations for getting the MBA. I hope to use this blog to record deep and valuable insights I have on innovation and making bags of money. Unfortunately, most of this stuff is top secret so you’ll never see it on these pages. Well, maybe a little…
So I’m back in the saddle and I honestly hope you’ll comment and recommend these ramblings to your friends and family. Peace and love and stuff.
