It’s OK to blog, but I want to stress that you must not simply run a blog, but run a business blog.

The differences between these two are great.

I even wrote an entire e-book on this topic – “The New Rules of Business Blogs”. You are welcome to check it out in my blog at http://www.positioningstrategy.com. Please feel free to post it on your blog or pass the e-book to whomever you believe might benefit from reading it.

Mike, those are good thoughts about the thinking and feeling behind using or not using questions. Thanks for adding them!

I often wonder why we are hesitant to ask questions.

Perhaps because we are rewarded for having answers in the workplace not questions.

And perhaps we feel asking questions means we are out of control.

Just the opposite is true.

Well conceived questions puts you in control by allowing you to guide the conversation while discovering value.

Thanks for stirring the pot!

Keep creating,
Mike

I run a web design agency and have been thinking on ways to approach small businesses. The thing is, I *know* I can help them – it’s just a matter of selling them on it.
