Continuing the introspection series from yesterday on why I like B2B startups, today I wanted to talk about why I do a daily blog post. Here are a few reasons why I write each day:
- Writing something short every day is actually easier than writing one lengthly piece each week
- Each day the process provides 10-20 minutes of reflection on what I did, experienced, and read in the past 24 hours
- The writing helps clarify my thinking on the day’s topic
- I’ve made an exceptional number of mistakes over the years and I’d like other entrepreneurs to not have to repeat them
- Documenting my thoughts helps employees and business partners understand my approach and thinking
- If I get hit by a bus I want my kids to know my thoughts on business and life
I’d highly recommend writing a daily blog post for the above reasons and more. The biggest challenge is getting through the first 30 days. After a month it becomes an easy routine, like brushing your teeth before bed. Once you get used to it you won’t want to stop.
