There's no hope for me...


I took an inadvertent blogging break recently whilst deciding whether this blog had a place in my life.  I am trying to build a business, and I worried that this blog (not to mention it's contents) were having a detrimental effect on the more serious work I should be undertaking.

Then this popped up, then this, and this, and this!
Aaargh!!

I will be blogging about them all at some point or another I am sure.
But today the spotlight it on Blog Love E-course.
I am tempted.  Seriously tempted, and one of the main arguments going on in my head is: "It will be good for business!"  See, I am so crafty; by making it sound like a business investment, it somehow it becomes more justifiable!

Jokes aside though, I do think blogging will play a large part of any small business in the future.  As we move from the invisible mass market, to the individual and personal - a blog can be the defining factor.  In fact one of the brides who booked me recently actually said, "I especially love the blog as well- it clinched it for me!" So thinking more carefully about the message it displays about me, about my business, can only serve me well...  All that for $32.  Can you really argue?
