In this video, I suggest that you should target your blog posts to the people that need your value right NOW! By focusing on what they need, or what you need, it will bring clarity to what you need to be blogging about today, this week, or this month.

Bret…I enjoyed your video and I think I am starting to understand the “why” of blogging and looking forward to our next class to learn more about the “how”

I thought both or your key points were valuable: blogging should be relevant and targeted to your specific priority group’s needs — what would most benefit them now. And, secondly, blogging can help you teach while you’re in a learning process. We’re all learners throughout life, and talking about what we’ve picked up while gaining knowledge or a new skill — even tips on what not to do — helps others while reinforcing our own learning.

Welcome, Susan! I would strongly agree with you that we should all be lifelong learners. As you point out, we should share that learning with others and encourage them along as well. Great point – thanks! Bret

This was very inspirational to begin. I thought it was interesting about the point of how blogging can be insightful and retrospective to our own personal growth.
