This is the one thousandth time I’ve sat down to write a blog post.
On one hand, that’s a lot of sitting. On the other hand, that’s a lot of blog posts.
A few years ago at the very beginning I was the only subscriber, then my wife Sarah subscribed so I could feel good about doubling my subscriber-ship…and now a lot more people read the blog everyday.
Thank you for reading. It makes the journey really fun.
And to be out around town, or get an email or a phone call and have someone mention a post from a week ago or a year ago is truly a thrill, and I love diving into those conversations.
I’ve never had a hit post, never gone viral, never had a big re-tweet, never made a single dollar from the blog. But that was never what this blog was for.
This blog started out and continues to be a platform that helps me recommit, everyday, to care for the world around me…which is the world of the music and entertainment business.
Here’s what a thousand blog posts has done…it’s changed my mind.
I can tell you from experience, that is the power of a thousand blog posts.
Showing up everyday to contribute, connect, challenge, care about and care for…that changes me. Certainly not to perfection, but certainly in the right direction.
So I’m going to keep going.
Thank you for going with me.
A parting message for blog post one thousand:
Whether you’re in the music business for two weeks or twenty years, it can be worth your time. The more you open your eyes the more of its worth you will experience.
***One more thing…I’d to say a special Thank You to Wes Kao and Seth Godin for throwing out a challenge a few years ago to blog everyday for a week, which has now turned into this. I needed that challenge, and I’m so very glad you gave it.
