Now it’s very old, and indeed saps me of my energy. I am called to reach many many more people. That is what prompts me to invest so much time and energy into marketing and learning.

This article gives me the idea to look more into my beliefs about being appreciated. Perhaps I went overboard in the keeping the focus inwards…

Thanks alot.

An audience of one (yourself) is a very lonely place to be. For instance I could barely write this blog if I know no one was reading it. As humans we do stuff for ourselves as much as for others. If we feel that someone else is getting the benefit of what we do, it spurs us on.

Which reminds me: If I don’t get back to doing some podcasts, I’ll be getting some Tweets via Twitter about my tardiness Those little nudges alone are a big part of what I do. And what you do. An audience can quickly change you. They can encourage you or discourage you. But without the audience, it’s a lot harder because you’re like a lonely boat out on the ocean. You can still get to your destination, but it’s a lot harder to be motivated.

That’s not to say that I disagree with the point you’re making…..it simply helped drive Len’s point a bit closer to home for me!
