It’s funny how we measure time by the calendar. I mean January first will dawn just like any other day. Here in Savannah odds are pretty good it will be a bit foggy, just like this morning. It’s that time of year.

However 1 January will be a vastly different time for me here at SuccessCREEations. A big part of that change involves me leaving my day job.

Yep. You heard right.

As of the new year I will no longer be employed full time in my old position in the maritime industry. I’m leaving that job to focus on growing SuccessCREEations, Inc.

It is a big step, no doubt. and that is one that Gorgeous and I have been working towards for quite some time.

There have been a myriad of things to get in place, things like health insurance, a car to replace the company car I’m giving up, and a new laptop - again to replace the company one I’m forfeiting.

What it Means

In the next few weeks y’all will see some big changes around here. For starters we will be overhauling the entire site.

SuccessCREEations will transform from a pure blog to a hybrid site that will be our company site with a blog on it. We’ve thought long and hard about the pros and cons to changing the site. Based on the direction we are moving a change is in order.

Gorgeous will be starting her own much anticipated blog here after the first of the year. I’m excited about her joining the blogging community in a more formal way after all her involvement with SOBCon.

I will be writing much more often and in a few new places. I’ll be firing up my personal blog here again shortly after a 6 months or more of neglect and joining in on a couple new projects.

All in all 2008 promises to be dramatically different around here. I’m looking forward to it.

Finding Something to Write About

We all get there from time to time.

If our business site has a blog, we know we should post something every so often. Can’t have it getting stagnant. Gotta keep the content fresh.

But what to write?

Maybe there’s nothing happening in our business that we can share at the moment. Perhaps your creative zone is a little overwhelmed with the stress of day to day business?

Well here are some ideas which might help get your creative juices flowing.

Look Around Your Life

This is my personal favorite. Life happens. All around us. By keeping a sharp eye on what is going on around us we can often come up with things to write about.

For example, maybe you just had a surprising light bulb moment that you could share (sort of).

Do you have pets? Did you find your Cats in the Dog House this morning? Sure your pest have nothing to do with your business. But people like cute pictures. And it shows a bit of the human side of your business. Me, I put most of my cat blogs on my personal blog. But they do inspire me from time to time.

Are you active on any social media sites? Perhaps you see something there that eventually grow into something like Visionary Cat Herding Princes of Execution.

Maybe a YouTube video helped you see some Lessons at the Watering Hole. If you learned from it chances are someone else will too.

Maybe life is happening to you right now. Sometimes it’s OK to tell people that It’s Cold in Here. Letting folks know there are real live people at your business is not a bad thing. Not at all. Read more
