Reinvention

At "Brand Mantra" Jennifer Rice has a wonderful blog post about change, life and the growth that bloggers feel after a year or more of blogging. Some of us start to realize that the approach we first began with may not be the direction that we want to go. I have been struggling with what this blog will "Morph" into over the next couple of weeks (Yes, I promised site reviews and they will come. I just really have trouble with pounding on folks who are struggling to find their place in the new landscape of photography. And most of the reviews I have done are not particularly positive for their owners, so I have them sitting here and will decide when to publish them soon.)

Jennifer's decisions to be more personal, less full-court business and more open to the wider experiences in life are similar to my own. She writes a whole lot better 'n me, so go take a look at her site, read the post and think about your life.

Thanks for a well written post Jennifer.

What's Your Brand Mantra?: Reinvention: "Fourth, I'm going to expand my writing to reflect my diverse interests. I will stick to branding as the core of my writing, because my blog continues to be my best new-business tool. Yet I've been too focused on other's brands at the expense of my own. Every good brand is consistent yet multidimensional. My company brand is myself. So I'm going to risk being politically incorrect and say some things that may cause potential clients to wrinkle their foreheads... but I'm not going to worry about it. I think that's the beauty of Hugh McLeod's blog; he's quite unapologetically himself. And it certainly hasn't hurt him."
