Do you need a blog?

Because blogging isn’t going anywhere. More importantly, it’s not something that should be seen as adding to what you’re doing—on the contrary, blogging (if done well), can be the most productive thing you do all day, and can even take the place of many of your daily “to-do”s. You might need to step out of your comfort zone, but trust me—it’s worth it.

You want to start blogging

… and that’s great! So, where do you start? Do you really need a blog? What topic are you going to write about? Where are you going to get ideas? How you are going to get it all done?
