The Rules Of My Startup Blog

The first few rules are, for me.

1.  I must always improve my grammar and spelling. I must never say hurtful things about others. (yep I've screwed up on that one)
2.  I must work to be positive (which has been hard with all these deaths)
3.  I must never delete a popular post even if I'm unhappy with it later.

You see the top ten most popular post are not me who picks them, it's you. I've watched my top ten change over time, and it's the articles I write that you like the most that get on my blogs top ten list. I don't pick them, it's not my top ten list, it's what is the most popular with you.

It's What You Pick

 I find so much joy in seeing what you like. I'm happy when an article I write resonates with you. For almost a year this one was on the top ten list Wrapping Your Head Around The Self Judgement Of Yourself. It got bumped about two months ago. I was sort of sad about it being sent to the below ten list. It wasn't such a good article, but it was special to me.


I'm super happy that you made An Entrepreneurs Timeline To Success number two. You don't know how much that means to me. I am honored by you in the deepest way. I hope I said the things you didn't expect to be in the timeline. Maybe I made you upset because the timeline is life? not the fast expectancy of a startup. Yeah, we all want to get it done in five years, but hey, what if you gave yourself some breathing room and chose to not follow the pressure of all the other successes? Can it ever be bad if you succeed in maybe thirty years? If you succeed, it's always good. Who is to say that success has a time limit? 

I can never be a failure if I have no time limit to my success. I will succeed one day. I have never doubted that. Oh! back to the rules of my blog. There isn't any for you. That's kind of nice

Okay so the number one post on my blog, well, it's Whisperapp. It's not a very good written article of mine. It has problems, but it was the truth for me at the time of my writing it. And it had the skills of mine at the time. Hopefully I've improved since then. So why is it number one? The answer is CHINA. Yep, after I wrote it, Whisper had a worker who was from China or was popular in China, and she had a ton of connections, and she worked that article as much as she could to get it to be number one on my list. Now, why would my list matter? I'm not some popular blogger at all. I'm nothing really. But to this Whisper worker it was important that she make it BIG. So she did. She did her job for Whisper. For about three months the country of China hit that article like crazy. Today it stands at 1,176 hits. You see none of my articles I write have come close to overtaking that. I hope An Entrepreneurs Timeline To Success will beat it one day. It has to date:517 reads,so a little less than half. 

Now I do have the power to just delete the Whisper article, but that would break one of my rules. The people picked it. The people hit on it. I do not have the right to take it away even if I don't necessarily like it anymore. I do admit I have deleted a few of my articles that were rants of hatred towards people who made me angry. Yep, I'm human, I get mad and I do stupid shit. So yeah, I delete those. The Whisper article is not of hatred, it is joy and love. I love Whisper, I do. It's an amazing startup. It's spot on what all startups seek. Getting humans addicted to their product. I just don't think that article is the best one I've written and I kind of wish my other writings would over take it. Not because I don't like Whisper, I do. I just don't like my writing, and why cry over spilled milk? It was pure and clean when I wrote it. 

As crazy as I and my life are, I will continue on finding my startup way. I will keep improving my writing and using courage to do the uncomfortable parts. I will grow old building. As frustrating hard as it is, a trep life is who I've always been. Okay you do have one rule: Never stop building startups.
