New Direction

I have taken this blog in another direction as of . . .

Now.

The business I set up needed more direction. I had to make a choice. I did. Based on the fact that "success" is such a broad term and quite frankly "finance" is a great topic it is lacking the sense of community I need in order to kick off my web site, I have chosen the mental health community as my main niche.

This way I can write articles. Be known. Have my expertise known. Plus I can build the website I have been setting up since December.

The reasoning is that whatever I build my site as I need to be involved enough to keep the content up to date. I need to be interested and invested. I am very invested in bipolar disorder because I have it. (Obviously considering my last post was about depression and this one has nothing to do with my mood)

In order for the site I am building to come alive I need to do work on it. So I am happy to say that I have finally, after a lot of research, picked a focus.

So this blog is now going to get more attention. It will also get a lot more thoughts and articles. I may even move it off blogger (we will see about that) on to its own domain.

If it is to be my main blog it will certainly get a custom makeover.

Out of sheer necessity I am going focus more on what I love to think about: self-improvement. Yeah I love to bitch and complain. Don't we all? But I am thinking instead of ruining my life I need to push it forward.

This means something else is going to happen. I have always consider it a risk to have my name be known. I feared employers would fire me or not hire me because of the stigma associated with bipolar disorder. If I am going to dedicate my web site about mental illness my name is going to get out there. Which means my name will be associated with this site. Maybe that is a bad idea. Maybe I would be better off using my other blog (that I never post to) for articles and whatnot. I don't know yet.

We shall see.

At any rate expect to see me visiting your blogs once again. I need to become highly involved in this community we have here.

As soon as I can I will be announcing my web site here. I have also already started designing an eBook which will subsequently be put in audio book format as the two go hand-in-hand. I will be selling the book but I will also be giving free versions to many of you.

I have to go clean the house.

Did you know my daughter is graduating high school?

Cool huh.
