After a couple of failed attempts at blogging in the past, Michael Hyatt’s new book (Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World) has inspired me to make it happen this time.  The blog will be a work in progress.  I haven’t even decided on an overall theme.

What I do know are some of the reasons why I am starting a blog.

• Organize my thoughts.  I listen to a lot of audiobooks and read several blogs daily.  These inputs give me many ideas.  I need an output for these thoughts.
• Practice my writing.  I have not written anything of any significance since my one year stint in college.  Quite honestly, that wasn’t stellar.
• Teach and help others.  I believe that the lessons I have learned over my years can be a help to others.  As a wise man once said, “A smart person learns from his own mistakes, but a truly wise person learns from other people’s mistakes.”
