Today is Valentine’s day – so it’s special. It’s also special for me
for another reason – last year on the same day, I started writing this
blog. Yes, It’s been a year and the journey has been very rewarding.

First, I want to thank all the readers of my blog for your encouraging emails and support.

Being
an entrepreneur, I can see the similarities between starting a blog and
starting a company. In both cases, the journey is exciting, enriching
and rewarding. You don’t have all the answers when you start either one
of them but during the journey you will figure out a ton of stuff. In
both cases, you can’t do it alone. So second, I want to thank all of you
who helped me figure out stuff that I would have never been able to
figure out myself. Some of what I figured out has been put under the
squidoo lens Blogging Starter Checklist.

I
have written about 363 articles over the last year on this blog. The
most popular ones are categorized under the series “Distinguish
Yourself.” I have also created a lens on Squidoo by the same name – Distinguish yourself for your quick reference.

Once again, a BIG THANK YOU to all of you!
