One of the lonesome negatives of owning a middling winning business organisation is that I get overcome next to phone booth calls from empire that I don't know, who munificently want to lend a hand me develop my business concern.
The answer to all my office complications.
How nice.

People who have ne'er met me, know aught about me, have ne'er set linear unit in my company and seemingly have numerous deep-seated, burning, selfless, long to comfort little-old me be all that I can.
Giddyup.

Fortunately for me, Kim my PA is all right toilet-trained in the art of warp and dodging. If folks can get through with the cardinal query phone booth interrogative then she may, or may not, put their hail as done to me. One personage who survived such as a cookery is a bloke named John Hopkins.

After a period or so of tenacious persistence, I succumbed and 'graciously' agreed to a xv extremely small assemblage (such a good person). Apparently he sought to settle to me in the order of web-site material (not a enthusiasm of mine), thing named podcasting (who cares?) and more than a few other mumbo-jumbo, cyber-tech feces that I didn't genuinely take to mean.

And of course, if I don't cognize going on for it or get the message it, it must be turd and it can't be central.

Lesson 1.
Don't let your ego, attitude, cognitive content or snootiness clutches you rear individually or professionally (men, pay awareness).
Not that I would... but I've detected both do.

So on October 13, 2006 (82 life ago) the deadly techno-cyber-fluff geek and I met.
The fifteen petite gathering went for two hours and by a long way to my surprise, the performing artist inverted out to be absorbing and gentle of intellectual.
Decent and appealing even.
Bugger over again.

He introduced me to the notion of a blog site; at first glance close to an on-line journal, diary, magazine, soap-box.
A lay to sound your thoughts, ideas, philosophies.
A stand to stock and interchange thinking and facts on the cyber-highway; the blogosphere.

Okay, he mislaid a small-scale terrain once he utilized the term, blogosphere.

"You only be in contact professionally, you simply do media stuff, you at one time endure in frontal of commercial groups and students, this is different way for you to slot in next to an addressees and get your announcement out there", he told me.

He showed me a diary spot (set up by one guy) which had over and done with one a million company per month!

That freaked me out.
"So you're describing me that any guy jotting trailing his accepted wisdom on his laptop in his couch room on the else side of the planetary is human being publication by ended a 12 cardinal empire all year?"

"Yep".

Hmm, no editors editing.
No producers telling me what to chat about, who to natter to, or how weeklong to address for.
No dead-lines.
An transnational audience.

Okay Johnnie, I'm in.

And a blogger was calved.

So I took my preliminary wonky blogging stepladder slow October 2006 and I've been attending blogger kindergarten ever since.

Lesson 2.
Sometimes the superfine opportunities and module go from the least imagined places.

Here's a shot of what's happened in the ending 82 days:

* Johnnie the irritating performer has upturned out to be neither, bothersome or a performer.

* He now plant with me full-time helping me come through my agitated office enthusiasm and more importantly, he is the engineer, the creator and the dynamic social unit astern the setting (he even has his own business office at the Harperdome).

* I indite the content but Johnnie makes the holiday camp face apposite and manoeuvre well.

* Johnnie has with patience answered my 14,782 questions at blogger preschool over and done with the later 82 life. He is a swell don and I am an annoying trainee. I impoverishment to cognize everything by later Tuesday.

* I have dog-tired on midpoint 3 to four hours per day exploitable on the site; first and foremost dedication exultant.

* The holiday camp has away from nil to simply ended 5,000 company per hebdomad and it's escalating by the day.

* I have cultured jargon look-alike send out (an online article or journal gift), Google Analytics (some tetchy item which tells us all roughly speaking the accumulation to our scene) and Technorati. As healthy as I can understand, Technorati is a brand of commanding set-up for diary sites. When remaining sites linkage to this site, we slope the rankings. Apparently location are ended 55 cardinal blog sites and as I jot this, craigharper.com is hierarchical at about 100,000 which ranks us in the top 0.2% of sites. Three weeks ago we were hierarchal finished a million.

* At the twinkling we have 33 other than sites connected to ours, and that numeral is going up by active 2-3 golf links per day (Johnnie tells me this is good!).

* Johnnie has standard more hugs from big muscular men in the concluding 82 years than supreme general public would in a time period. He feigns unease and botheration.... but he truly domiciliation it. He teaches us something like the blogosphere and we initiate him nearly his familiarity issues.

* He has born 7 kilos (15lbs) since his entry at the Harperdome and is the peak rock-hard web-freak on the eastward coastline of Australia.

* I have had the possibility to congregate and confabulation next to folks from all ended the planetary (on-line) and I warmth all 2d of it.

* I have customarily sat up until two am blogging after practical a 15 unit of time day.

Lesson 3. (An golden oldie but a goodie)
Every fortunate project (business, program, web-site, book, undertaking) starts next to an conception. The colossal number of grouping do nothing, and later whimper once others circle their belief into a sincerity.

Do nothing; you'll get null.

I don't transmit you any of these property to impressment you, but a bit to impressment upon you how contingent is to learn, grow, create, bring home the bacon and have whichever fun once we rung out of our flyspeck bubble, put in the effort, pinch a chance, triumph over a few fears, crash over, get up and hang on to going. Many present I have been frustrated done the ultimate eighty two days. Many nowadays I have made weighty mistakes... but they are generally my best lessons. Some of what I have holographic has been quality, whichever has been inferior but all day Johnnie and I are research together, growing, adapting and in work at creating something amazing.
Something that will take home a divergence.
Something we can both be puffed-up of.
Something that gives us and hopefully, zillions of others, motivation, encouragement and joy.

Lesson 4.
Whoever same mental object is blissfulness was untruthful.
Ignorance is a unfitness.

Imagine if I hadn't let Johnnie in the movable barrier.
You wouldn't be linguistic process this now.

And I wouldn't be present blogger kindergarten.

Johnnie and I know you visiting the land site and would be mad about your feedback, accepted wisdom and suggestions. It is a work in progress, we are some acquisition (okay, chiefly me) and we are some sworn to devising this the first-rate educational, psychological feature and sacred resource we can. Let me cognise what you would suchlike me to communicate on... If I don't cognise anything give or take a few it, you cognise I'll variety it up!

P.S. Much to his impressively enthusiastic dislike (you truly involve to tough grind on that oath) I have integrated a exposure of the lacking hair man concealed in the region of the Harperdome. What are you doing in the gym Johnnie?... Get aft to your electronic computer you geek!
