Update Jan 5, 2009: This blog was expected to be a documentation of starting my new venture. It has turned out to be more of a meditation. It has allowed me space to write and to discover its joy. Today, I changed the name of the blog to Meditations on a New Venture from New Venture Experiences.
The response I have received from family, friends and colleagues has been tremendous. I am truly fortunate to have this support. In the past I have reached out to folks by e-mail and gotten a response. There is only one problem: you don’t get to decide when I should not be sending you e-mails. The intent of this blog is to put that control back in your hands. You may (or may not) subscribe to the blog.
I will post questions here rather than send e-mails.
I am very enthusiastic about it and rather than composing e-mails to tell friends and family of the various milestones on this journey, it may be better to blog about it — that way, those that are interested can subscribe and get the information and others who are perhaps not as interested wouldn’t get “junk mail” from me.
As I write this blog, I will be mindful of confidences. It will not be a tell-all type of thing. Unless I have your explicit permission to mention your name on the blog, I will not do so.
Of course, if there are successes, I will let you know about them. If setbacks, not so much!
