Nice slap on the back of the head from Gary Vanyerchuk.
“Listening to yourself always wins”.

If you aren’t dying for it, it’s bullshit. If you die with any life left in you, you’ve wasted it. You should die entirely empty and spent.
That’s my view.

- The velocity of content is increasing.
- More and more content is being pushed than anyone could consume in several lifetimes.
- Yet our attention remains finite. Only so many hours in the day. Things compete for our attention.
- How do you get people to consume your content?
- The solution posited by marketing thought leaders is that you can rise above the noise by producing an exceptional, and targeted, blog.

- Is the time spent writing 500-1000 word blog posts that no one other than Google is going to read an efficient use of your time?
- Shouldn’t you put your content where people are ready to consume it?
