Why Make a Blog?

This is an intro post describing the decision to start writing a blog.

As an individual who falls into the demographic of generation Y it is almost a necessity to one; read a blog, or two: write a blog. I have made the decision to do both.

I have personally always thought that writing a blog is a desperate effort to fill an emotion need to feel important and express your opinions to others, and overall feel important. Now, my opinion has not changed entirely, but I have come to a point where I feel that a blog can certainly hold some value.

Why write a blog? My desire to write a blog is not to write about the latest pop cultural event or rant on about issues that I feel "need to be heard by the world!" My desire was really rooted from conversations I have had with a couple of close friends. I come from a marketing background and am now a professional in the Financial Advice/Services business. My marketing mind was constantly nagging me to start some sort of "electronic communication medium" to further communicate with and involve my clients and also just because I love the idea. And what marketer doesn't love his own ideas...

My ideas never leave my head but they usually morph into something else, hence a very simple blog.

Finally, what is "Your Weekly Expansion?". It will be a theme/thought/topic created weekly that I hope will expand the knowledge of the individuals reading it through discussion. In turn I hope they will take any small thing learned and turn it into something larger in their own lives. It will be structured loosely around discussions ranging from finding personal financial success to trying to uncovering that ever-elusive inner happiness.

I hope you find enjoyment and value in our later discussions and of course input is always encouraged.

This blog will be updated Mondays on a weekly basis.
