Yesterday I asked what you guys would like to see more of in this blog. Today I was going to respond to your responses. But then I realized that before I can respond, I should explain why I have a blog.<\/p>\n

Some Very Good Reasons Why I Should Not Have A Blog<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 I’ve never had a desire to blog. I suspect few people care what I had for breakfast today. (Chicken sandwich. I cook the boneless chicken breasts at 150\u00b0 for at least 2 hours. Sometimes I forget, and it cooks for 5 or 6 hours. At that temperature, it’s not a problem. That’s my typical breakfast. Thanks for asking.)<\/p>\n

\u2022 I believe the world already suffers from too much chatter. I’ve no desire to add to it.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I actually have a life. Not as exciting as yours, but I don’t need shout into cyberspace in the hopes that someone echoes back proof of my existence.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I’ve got too much to do already.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I’m a slow writer, so writing a daily blog post eats up a huge chunk of my time. For example:<\/p>\n

Turtle<\/span><\/p>\n

See that word, above this line? It took me 45 minutes to think of and then write that word.<\/p>\n

Why I Decided To Blog<\/span><\/p>\n

This year I’ve drastically cut down on my travel. Why? What do you mean, “why”? Have you been in an airport lately? It’s torture.<\/p>\n

But I make much of my living conducting seminars \u2014 which I really enjoy. I haven’t stopped traveling altogether \u2014 I’ve got one European seminar trip scheduled for September and 2 other “possible” European trips and a trip to Japan before 2009.
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Side note to all the UK and European radio people<\/span><\/span><\/span> who, over the years, have said they’d love to have me come to their markets to conduct seminars and\/or do morning show tune-ups, but I’m too expensive: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Have you looked at the value of the U.S. dollar lately? With the present exchange rates, I’m HALF-PRICE to you. “Prices will never be this low again,” unless the dollar continues to plummet.<\/p>\n

Anyway…During the past year I’ve been conducting teleseminars (fancy word for “big telephone conference call”). I’ve discovered that:<\/p>\n

\u2022 They require a lot of preparation and having to rely on outside technology is a bit stressful, but not as stressful as doing a Strip Search Perp Walk for TSA employees.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I enjoy the actual live performance of the teleseminars just as I do in a physical seminar setting. It’s still live, so the adrenalin is there.<\/p>\n

\u2022 People really seem to like them. Even when they have to pay.<\/p>\n

So for the foreseeable future I expect to do a bunch of teleseminars (and other events) on various topics within my areas of expertise. There’s a limit to how much email I comfortably can send to my subscribers and customers, so this gives me another way of reaching them. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully I can keep you coming back with good content, and when I’ve got some project to announce I can do so without wondering if you opened the email (or if it even reached you, in this wonderful world of spam filters and Information Prevention departments).<\/p>\n

Also, my two newsletters<\/a> are published only every 3 or 4 (or 5) weeks, and they’re devoted to pure teaching\/problem solving. Although they reflect my personality and style, it’s all about “content.” They’re not a venue for whatever happens to be on my mind at the moment, and I write a little more “professionally” than I do here.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, in my newsletters there’s very little opportunity for discussion. I wanted a place where there could be more “give and take,” just us pro’s talking.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And THAT is…uh….What was the question?<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
