Why Blog?
This is a question I’ve asked myself quite a bit over the past several years since blogs hit the mainstream on the internet. Personally, I’m most comfortable with the printed page.
Still, it’s recently become clear to me that my preference for off-line communication is completely irrelevant. People are talking about Vector Marketing online, and my professional reaction is: “Hey, I want to and we need to, be part of that conversation!”
So despite my initial misgivings, it is with great enthusiasm and excitement that I write this inaugural blog post. The folks here at Vector have worked with literally tens of thousands of young people for nearly 30 years. With this blog, we’re going to share what we’ve learned from them and what we learn from YOU about building life skills, growing professionally, and keeping things in perspective. We’ll write about applying basic work skills to a variety of careers, and bring in outside experts to talk about job choices, personal growth, and other things you ask us about.
We’ve read some of what’s being said about Vector Marketing in cyberspace. Most of it is hooey (or fill in your preferred term for stuff that’s just plain wrong). So we’re eager to get in on the conversation. Have a question about working with us? You’ll find the facts here, and we’ll answer your questions.
So here are the ground rules: When leaving a comment or asking a question, keep your language clean, stay on topic, and don’t get into personal attacks. That’s it. Easy enough, right?
Keep coming back and here’s to a healthy, happy and prosperous 2010!
