One of the best pieces of advice I’ve been given about this blog is to “focus on the Actionable Items.”  Or in other words, picture the person who reads what you say and agrees completely.  Then ask yourself “What do I want this person to come away with?  If I could have this person do something after reading this post what would it be?” 

Since being given that advice I’ve tried as best I can to end each post with those “actionable items” but sometimes I forget.  My last post was one of those times. 

So if I may, let me try to make up for that.  What I was trying to get across in that post is that most bloggers say they want to be part of a “conversation” but then turn around and don’t actually converse.  If they can see my point and would like to participate in a conversation they should do a Google search before they make a post and look at the facts and opinions already out there (both agreeing opinions and disagreeing ones).  By doing that they’ll be moving a conversation, and hence everyone’s collective knowledge, forward rather than just repeating the same tired old things over and over and over again.
