Why Am I Blogging?

So, why am I blogging?.. Well, Seth Godin told me to. He said that EVERYONE should blog, and we should blog every day. I'm not sure if I could feasibly do that, but I'll give it a shot. There are plenty of reasons to do as Seth says, but let me share with you mine.


First of all, I'm an introverted person. That means I often tend to be in my head. I don't talk much, but I think A LOT. So it would be easier for me to share and express my ideas through text. Sure, everything may be all about audio and video in the future, hence it'd probably be best to record vlogs and podcasts instead of write, but I'll eventually get into that stuff later on. At the moment, I plan to keep my focus on blogging and only gradually add audio and videos to the mix as I move along.

Secondly, I agree with the notion that ideas without execution are useless. We ALL have ideas. I have LOTS of them. But if these wonderful ideas we have only stay in our heads, and we don't execute, then what's the point in having them? Joe Rogan says you got to write stuff down, and I agree. When you take the action of writing something down, you move your ideas forward into action towards fruition. When you don't write stuff down, you forget about them. Having a blog will help me keep a record on things, and it'll allow me to check back and see what my thoughts were like at a certain period of time. Written records also remind us of what's important, what matters most.

I know the world is moving towards audio and video. Lots of people are raving about how much they LOVE listening to audio books, and that it's their preferred method of "reading" for consumption of information, because they don't actually like to read in the conventional sense. I personally, however, prefer to read text than to ingest information through audio. Even though it may be helpful to learn things by hearing it, a lot of information tends to go over my head, and I miss a lot of important pieces. For some reason, I digest information better when I see it visually as text or images. Therefore, if I prefer to consume information in this method, it may be best for me to produce it the same way.

My last reason for blogging is because it's easier than trying to record video. People have asked me for updates on what I've been up to these past couple of years, and I keep saying that I would make a video about it, but I just never get to it. It'd be easier to simply share that information through the blog, at least initially, and then if I choose to, I can always record a video afterwards. Although I choose to keep my focus on this blog at first, that doesn't mean I forgo my desires to record and produce video content too. I do want to make more videos, and I WILL make more videos eventually. As Gary Vee says, if you can create content in all the different types of media, why not do it? So, that's where I'm headed. What you can expect from me is more written content, audio recordings, and video productions. It's all coming. So just stay tuned...
