"you should start a blog"...

Often times in conversations both online and in person people tell me “you should have a blog” and mostly I just mumble back, “who would want to read this old car guys rambles?” I rarely take the time to explain that I DO have a blog; I just don’t keep it up as much as I could. I follow so many great folks both in my own industry, the car business, and other folks that are leaders in marketing and media and across the boards everyone seems to say the same thing; know who your audience and speak to them. Well, therein lays the crux I guess, I’m still not sure exactly WHO would read my writings? Sometimes I want to write about the experiences I have had in the car business working for car dealerships and I think, who would read that? Although sometimes humorous, my car biz stories wouldn't really be informative per say. Other times I feel compelled to share some awesome training tips but the think about how many ‘actual’ sales trainers there are with really great things to share and stop myself. I consider myself pretty much of an expert on early 80’s New Wave music but c’mon, does the world need yet another music blog?! I’m a Big fan of racing in all forms but as a Sales Manager for a car dealership time is something that limits my ability to follow racing well enough to write about it competently and though I grew up living for the next wave but I haven’t actually paddled out into the surf in years so blogging about surfing is out….
So my goal is to find myself so to speak, figure out who I want to talk to and then start talking! If you have checked out this lil rant page and even kinda like the stuff you see, please check back again soon and follow along as I try and figure this stuff out and really make a go of this blog of mine!
