How to Celebrate 20 Years of Blogging (Write More!)

Beautiful fireworks

Twenty years ago today, I wrote my first blog post.

I was nominally on vacation in Lake Tahoe, where my family was skiing. Since I'd stopped skiing by then, I used my vacations to write and read. And Esther Derby and I were writing some version of Behind Closed Doors: Secrets of Great Management. We had an appointment to talk.

Esther said, “There's a new way to engage readers. It's called blogging. Let's do it.”

Never one to back down from writing, I said, “Okay!”

Now, 20 years later, I've used this blog to both explain my well-formed ideas and to explore new ones. Yes, I've used this blog as part of my product development. I have much more to write because I'm explaining and exploring more each day. I get to write more. (Insert laughter here.)

I thank Esther for suggesting the blog. And I thank you, my readers, for reading and commenting. I've enjoyed these last 20 years, and I bet I enjoy the next 20.
