An important question to ask oneself, after all most bloggers are investing a considerable amount of time and effort, not to mention funds, into their blog and so to this end, What do you get back? Seriously. As a reflection and a starting point for answering the questions you need to ask yourself this important question. To help the process, I though I would put together a few of the major reasons why I blog and why I invest so much time into writing articles every week, getting involved in community and investing into the blogosphere even though sometimes I would rather be scuba diving.

I dug this little number out of the archive bin. It was a fledgling post I wrote back in ’07 for my very first blog “Naked Business” but as that blog is long gone now i’m stealing it.

In addition to chocolate covered marshmallow, I am a great believer in having structure in life, and systems in place that allow you to work and function effectively. Like a strong wind or a forced piggy back from a friend, structure will take you to where you have set your sights on the horizon.
