Video Blog - Wisdom on a Mountain

I’ve ascended this mountain here in search of wisdom.  The Dahli Llama is nowhere to be found, so I wonder if maybe you can help.

This is my 70^th day in my attempt to publish 300 blogs in 2012, and my fourth video blog.  While emailing The Toddwaz Report to a number of retailers in Western Canada and gaining followers on Facebook, I’d like for my ramblings to reach a wider audience. 

Writing continues to flow naturally from my experience with you, and occupies time spent in airports, hotels and at my table-for-one.

I’m in negotiations with a major jewellery magazine to contribute some of my writing to their monthly publication.  They’ve asked me what kind of writing I’d like to do for them.  Am I an investigative journalist?  Can I write feature articles?  Could I be a columnist focusing on marketing, sales, operations, industry trends, or something else?

Here’s where I need your help.  You’ve been hearing from me daily for over two months now.  I want to know what’s stuck with you. 

Firstly, without reviewing back-copies, I’d like you to tell me which articles have been memorable.

Secondly, whether you acted on a suggestion, modified it, or did the exact opposite of what I wrote, what actions have you taken in your business as a result of reading The Toddwaz Report? 

Thirdly, is an optional response; tell me if you think that one particular subject matter or viewpoint would be a unique and welcome addition to all of the other columnists that target you, the retail jewellers.

Please take just a few minutes to give me your thoughts.  I’m not looking for praise and I while I don’t enjoy criticism, I know that in order to improve I need to invite it. 

I’m really up here looking for direction, and I want to know what specifically I can do to benefit you.  Even if I don’t end-up writing for the magazine in question, I’ll take your comments use them to advance The Toddwaz Report.

Thank you and have a great week
