in Blog Topics for Business to Business Customers on Chris Brogan
OK, here's an A-list business blogger asking for MY opinion. What can I possibly add? I think remembering that you're writing to, and for, people is key. They may come to a business blog for help in running their business but the content doesn't have to be dry. Just because they own a business doesn't mean that they can't enjoy a little humor, especially if it involves poking fun at yourself, your company, or your industry.
Almost a year ago I posted a silly video called "How a Sewing Machine Works." It was my most popular post and still gets hits almost every day.
I also post occasionally on something that has nothing to do with business, but that I think readers will find interesting or helpful.
I have no illusions. I'm no journalist. I'm not an expert or a guru. I'm just a guy who works for a company that's chosen me to be their online spokesman. I talk to people on the blog the same way I'd talk to them in person.

Chris,
Great idea for a series! My audience is small to medium-size independent retailers. I'd love to see something on how a small business can use social media. I've written several "generic" posts on the topic, but I'm having a hard time finding specifics.
Keep up the good work.

Great post! I'm trying to figure out this social media thing and see where you could drown in all the sites that are out there. I keep hearing that social networks are great time-savers, but so far I'm spending time, not saving it.

in What Makes a Successful Entrepreneur? on Ready Fire Aim
Good, well-researched post. I think there's a third possibility for the development of entrepreneurship. Some people grow into it through experience. After spending time in the corporate environment, many people become non-conformists. They may already have been achievement-motivated, but the realize that they are working within a structure that has limits. Their preference for innovation may have been discouraged, or at least limited.
Finally, tolerance for uncertainty grows in proportion to the growth of the first three attributes and with increased financial resources.
I may be slightly cynical (my wife would say that's an understatement) but I'm not convinced that entrepreneural "studies" at the college level can ever replace a few years in the corporate world, what with college loan payments and parents who'd like to see some return on their investment.
Keep up the good work.
