In Retrospect

I’d been thinking about this for the past couple of weeks before Trizle posted this today. If you’re a regular reader you probably noticed my lack of posting and I apologize for that.
But as a blogger, and especially as an entrepreneur, you eventually come to ask yourself: Why are you doing what you are doing when you could be using that time to do something more productive? This isn’t to say blogging isn’t productive because I’ve met countless people since the start of this site and it’s kept me going and has motivated me to keep striving and achieving as opposed to being idle.
I’m not saying I am going to stop blogging any time soon. I’m just taking a retrospective view of doing what I’m doing. Trizoko does hit the spot when they say no one cares what you are doing. And to a certain extent that’s true. Sure I have readers and maybe even a couple fans out there, but for the most part no ones depending on my blog for their well-being.
I don’t find myself as being a talented writer and nor do I come up with brilliant business philosophies that readers love to eat up (unlike Trizoko). Sometimes I feel it’s a burden to write something by readers will find useful. But truth be told, the reason I started blogging was to keep track of my ventures and aspirations and to keep myself moving towards my goals. And if readers enjoy that then great, but I can’t promise anyone mind bottling business advice.
All in all, I’m an 18-year old kid chasing a dream and that’s what this blog will remain about

Hey Rohail!
I think we should’ve qualified that statement: “No one cares what you are doing — unless it applies to their own lives.”
As an incredibly young entrepreneur, a lot of the things you go through applies to a lot of other young entrepreneurs (e.g. trials & tribulations).
Please keep on writing, Rohail! (If you can, of course)
Hey Rohail, Chanced upon your blog. Pretty cool going! So even if you question why you blog (as most of us do at some point or the other), stick in their, and keep those posts coming
Andrew- You’re right, I agree with that qualification. Also, I have no gripes with any trials & tribulations I may face as an entrepreneur because that is what I’ve signed up for and I’m sure this is the same with most entrepreneurs. It’s just part of the game and might even make this blog more interesting.
Intrepid- Thanks for finding my blog! Yes, I’m sure this is just a look at what I’ve been doing as I have no real doubt that I won’t continue to blog for the near future. It’s just one of those things you come to ask yourself like you said. I’ll try my best to keep bringing those posts.
Yea – definitely don’t stop writing Rohail:) I only read a handful of blogs all the time and yours is one of them. I’m sure I speak for all other young entrepreneurs when I say that it helps us to have someone else to go through the ups and downs with and learn from. Especially someone like myself, who is pretty much a one man team. Your experiences will help me and other entrepreneurs. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Adam. I hope to bring both the best my successes and the worst of my failures to this blog so as to help out other entrepreneurs. If all else fails, maybe there is something worth doing in that.
