23 Ways Blogging has Changed Me

It’s time to plow through another 1000th post request/suggestion as I try to respond to each of the suggestions and post requests made in my “What Should My 1000th Post be About?” post. Today’s response is in regards to Karen from Blazing Minds suggestion that I post how blogging has changed me, man does this one make me think. Thanks a lot Karen

Instead of really thinking about how blogging has changed me I am going to just take the next few seconds to write the first things that come to mind when I think about how being a blogging ceo has changed me. I can’t make any big promises here as I really have no idea what direction this is going to go in, but here goes and thanks again Karen for taking the time to leave a comment with your suggestion.
