I have decided to start blogging again. This has a number of reasons, notably:
- Writing is a great way to sort and articulate my thoughts on a particular issue for myself.
- Apparently some other people find these thoughts interesting as well.
I have learned that I get intense satisfaction from the very rare occasions that I add value to people’s lives and add leverage to their work. On a basic level are emails, advice, analysis or consultancies that help people improve the way they work – particularly if their work in turn positively impacts others. At the top end of the scale would be helping someone build up a business that improves their lives, their employees’ lives and their customers’ lives. Unfortunately, such moments have been scarce in my life so far.
But this is what continues to motivate me, and hopefully this will become a theme of this blog.
I though some of you might find this amusing. This is where the last hundred visitors to my blog came from. This just goes to show, how little privacy there is on the internet. From the locations, I can usually figure out exactly who was on the blog when. There is me in Cape Town, Scott in Portland, Fabien in San Francisco, my parents in Rio, Fred in Australia and Dima in Moscow. I don't know who the heck those 2 dots in the mid-East of the States is, nor Brasilia or Mexico (?). The European part is alot more confusing. Still, I can guess most of them. The only one that puzzles me a bit is the login from Oslo. The rest are easy to guess (although many of the ones in the UK and Germany are too close to differentiate).
