Darren Rowse, you know, the Problogger, put up a video challenge for everyone to say “why you blog?” So I did. The video below is my response.
So why do I blog? Well, I started blogging in August 2001 because a friend (Josh) showed me what it was, and I realized that I could publish my thoughts to the world without an editor/gatekeeper. It was an outlet for me, and being a creative person, it just felt darn good. Over time I’ve moved from blogging about personal stuff to business stuff, now back to video blogging for both reasons. In the end, I blog because I love it. Why do you blog?

Business Around A Lifestyle
The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.
That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?
Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.
