In a small business that has grand aspirations, the two most important qualities for growth are mindfulness and structure. Mindfulness makes for attunement - creation of harmony - with the two most vital partners of any business - customers and employees. Structure creates a detailed template for operational effectiveness. It amounts to a plan for success to which all relevant parties can commit.
Structure and scheduling go hand-in-hand. I'd like to help make my Wired Mosaic blog be a success by introducing a predictable weekly schedule, with each day devoted to a particular topic or theme. Here is what I am envisioning.
Monday - General News and Observations (on anything compelling)
Tuesday - Regulation (stories worthy of comment from the SEC and from elsewhere in the world for business law and regulation)
Wednesday - Disclosure (tales and trends mined from corporate disclosure filings)
Thursday - Knowledge Mosaic (stories about triumphs and challenges of running an online business)
Friday - KM Book Club (weekly review and comment about a book of interest to myself and to readers)
I may reserve time to post separately on a more ad hoc basis (for example, when we have a new product announcement or other event or news report worthy of instantaneous reporting), but as busy as I am, I imagine this schedule will be more than sufficient to keep me tied frantically to my post on the blogging assembly line. Imagine Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times or Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy. Only more crazed.
