We’re adding a new category to the blog. It’s called “doomed.” It’s about businesses that are simply doomed to failure.
We see them all around us, every day. We just know they are doomed for one reason or another. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we can all learn from their inevitable failure, and hopefully fail a little less ourselves as a result.
I know it seems a little arrogant to write this kind of post. Let me just say that I’ve had my share of failures, and I’m sure to have plenty more. I don’t do this to mock or belittle, simply to glean some positive education from an otherwise bleak situation.
And to further place ourselves in a humble spot, the first subject will be:
This Blog.
Let’s be honest, folks. Blogging is close to dead. There are too many bloggers saying too many things. It is becoming noise. I, like many others, have gone from reading a few blogs a day, to many, to way too many, and now back to a few. Blogging needs to change. It needs to be redefined and reworked. It’s had a good run, but blogs like this one are doomed to failure.
The good news is, blogs are almost free (time is money), so it doesn’t cost much to fail in this repect. The bloggers themselves also learn a great deal from the whole excersice, so in that respect it may not be accurate to call it a complete failure. From a traditional “gain readers, become important, make money” standpoint, however, this blog is doomed. Yours probably is, too.
Have a nice day!
