Advice Network Founders Blog is now going to about the founding of Adivce Network
Last week I was catching up on How To Change The World, one of my favorite blogs, by internet personality Guy Kawasaki.
This sentence stuck with me:
Click here to read the interview to learn about topics such as why the CEO of a publicly-traded company probably can’t write an interesting blog.
It really rings true. Advice Network is not even publicly traded yet I find myself forever compelled to maintain a “professional” voice. I fear the result has been a blog so dull that even I don’t read it. Really. The professional voice can’t say “I messed up.” or “Some jerk ripped me off.” or “I don’t know what I’m doing this week.” So it ends up saying “Blah Blah Blah…”
I hope Chad doesn’t read this post. Chad has been writing almost every post on this blog for months now, and he has been doing exactly as I have asked. By saying the blog has been boring, I simply say that I’ve given him a boring job. “Write articles that help people promote their business.” His articles have been good, and most of them would be great contributions to Advice Network, but that is not the same as an interesting blog.
An interesting blog has a point of view. It has a human voice. The Advice Network founders blog needs a human voice.
The gloves come off as of today. I am now going to begin writing a blog about starting an internet company that talks about my experience.
Starting an internet company is a hard and difficult thing that I do, and I am going to share my process with you unexpurgated. My trials, fears, triumphs, and setbacks.
I hope you enjoy reading about it.
Let me know in the comments if you think I’ve gone crazy.
