To those who wonder.

How can Ben post 5 days a week?

Given his busy schedule, many meetings, and involvement with multiple projects and businesses.

I built up momentum, remember Blogging is a marathon.

I followed my blogging strategy.

Started with 1 post / week for 2 months.

Then increase to 3 posts / week for a few months.

Then September I tried a post a day.

It hasn’t been easy, certainly didn’t happen overnight, but I stuck with it.

Just thought I’d share that to remind you all since its easy to forget.

Blogging is a marathon.

There are hills, dips, long stretches.

The context weather changes…

Keep your eyes on the end goal and keep

Taking step after step.

Momentum is valuable, maintain it, if you lose it, it’s like starting running after you’ve stopped (painful).

Just keep taking those steps, even if they’re baby steps, do it!

Work in a startup? Different context.  Same application.

(and for those that haven’t yet read, look at my Blogging Strategy, takes 30 seconds to read)

I consume a fair amount of media, especially ebooks.

Every now and again I’ll head down the print shop and print them out. (and then once finished I can share them).

Here’s five I’ve read recently I would recommend:

• 4 Hour Work Week Corporate Guide: succinct guidelines from the Four Hour Work Week book (original blog post) for helping you get more out of your time.
• A Brief Guide to World Domination: Must read by my friend Chris Guillebeau
• The Word of Mouth Manual by Dave Balter, poses some interesting thoughts
• BootStrappers Bible by Seth Godin, valuable resource
• Blogging Strategy (my own) but honestly read it if your a blogger, take a step back and then reflect on your blog
