Why I Haven't Been Wasting My Time the Last Four Years

For all my friends (Ted) who think I've been wasting my time the last four years writing this blog, I would like you to read the following from non-other than Tom Peters.

"If you're not blogging, you're an idiot," management uber-guruTom Peters told hundreds of attendees at the Inc. 5000 conference yesterday. "No single thing in the last 15 years has been more important to me professionally than blogging... It's changed my thinking, it’s changed my outlook… it’s the best damn marketing tool and it’s free."

Tom's blog is featured on his company home page.

Peters' fellow presenter at the conference was Seth Godin, and he had this to say about blogging:

Fellow panelist Seth Godin agreed: "What matters is the humility that comes from writing (a blog), that forces you to describe why you did something. It doesn't matter if anyone is reading your blog. You're doing it for yourself."

So there!
