I don't know how to blog

One of my clients wants me to blog for her business.  But I can't.  I mean, I've tried.  I have at least a dozen blogs I've written that she hasn't used.  She says they're too personal.  I felt kind of wounded by that.  Of course they're personal.  I'm writing them.  I'm writing about my businesses experiences, and I'm writing in a way that tells a story, that hopefully will endear people to me - and that means to you, and your business.

I don't know how to write for business.  Because business in general, textbook fashion, is boring.  Giving someone the step-by-step "how to" for acquiring a client, buying product or making a sale is outright BORING.  But giving someone a life experience that reflects that step-by-step - well, that's interesting.  At least it is to me.

But maybe that's why I'm not a millionaire business mogul living in New York.  Because I don't get it.  I'm too personal.   But I just don't know how to be any other way.

I'll always read through comments and take a trip over to your blog to see what you're up to. I follow a wide variety of blogs - a bit eclectic - but I love to read what other people are thinking about.
