Solopreneur, You Never Know Who Is Reading

The world of a blogger is often lonely.  For a solopreneur with a blog, it can be a frustrating process.  You pull from the depths of your creativity for ideas for posts, you spend hours crafting them and honing the words to be just right, you post and you sit with the silence that often follows.  Sometimes you have comments or even better, dialogue, in response to your posts.  Usually, you just hope that your blog subscribers are checking, reading and enjoying.  The truth is that it’s almost impossible to know who is reading what you have written.  This is no excuse not to write nor is it a reason to slack off in your quantity or quality.  Because people are reading and you never know who they may be.

This idea came home to us this week when we discovered that this blog had been quoted by a writer for Forbes.com.  Here’s the link to read the article about time management and distractions for solopreneurs, a topic we cover periodically.  The writer, Linda C. Smith, has an impressive list of writing credentials.  She is experienced herself in the entrepreneurial world as she is a writer, a mosaic artist and a distributor of a nutritional product.  I also went and explored one of Linda’s blogs and recommend it as another spot for you to generate ideas and even participate in conversation about your needs as a small business owner.
