My only 2 hesitations I had before starting my blog were 1) I was going to turn into one of "those" moms who have nothing better to do than blog about her daily trials and tribulations OR 2) I was going to use this blog as a business tool and instead of writing about what I really wanted to say, I would angle my posts knowing my clients and potential clients might be reading.
Of course these are two valid concerns, but what I decided is that if I can find a healthy balance between the two it just might be a winning combination. I also made a personal commitment to only write what I really want to write about- and if someone doesn't like it, well, they don't have to read it! My friend Kristy is a photographer and I just love reading her blog. She has a great balance between sharing things from her personal life and also posting business tips or ideas for the masses to read. I think this is what makes you real as a business owner as well. Many of our clients know me on a personal level, and I honestly think it makes a huge difference (it also helps break the ice if someone is screaming in the background of our conversation).
So don't be surprised if the next time you visit my blog I've written a post about potty training, or perhaps the importance of networking. I am a wife, a mommy, and a business owner...I seriously doubt there will ever be a moment where I find myself with nothing to write about. As for now, well, I'm enjoying the outlet this blog provides me, and I hope you like reading it as much as I like writing it!
