First time commenting on here. I’ve read your blog for a while now, and I’m a fan.

Personally while Seth Godin and others post daily, I imagine they are also “plugged in” to more channels which may help inspire their content.

I don’t think you should beat yourself up over posting everyday, if it means diminishing the quality. You said yourself: “As a self employed person, I make sure I do projects I’m interested in.” — so my constructive feedback would be to make sure you’re interested in whatever you’re writing about. I find that your best posts come in story format. You’re a great storyteller, and using that means to communicate is what keeps your readers engaged.

Happy Writing!

While these posts have been shorter than the previous stories of great adventure – I find its still valuable to gain insight to how Tynan thinks and lives his life daily. By far Tynan lives a more exciting and fulfilling life than most people I know.

Man, I love the fact that you, Seth, and Derek Sivers are posting every day. The latter two guys I discovered from your links to their sites.

This post is relevant as hell (to me at least) because it’s true and anyone who has ever managed people know that a motivated employee or team member doesn’t need to have their hand held. They will work for their own reasons.

I will even go a step further and say that it’s a waste of time to try to motivate people. If you are crystal clear on your vision you can find people who are excited by that vision and then it’s up to you to let them know EXACTLY how their skills can assist the vision.

I don’t want to tell people what to dream, I want to share my dream with them or vice versa and see if one of us is excited enough to assist the others vision.

Looking forward to tomorrows post. Maybe I will commit to making a comment a day on your’s, seth’s and siver’s blog. Lord knows you three have given me enough FREE value over the years.

I also agree that the quality of the last few posts is low but expect that is because you are not used to posting everyday and in time things will pick up again.

So instead of writing everyday, write everyday in the perspective that it is the only post you are able to do in a week. I would personally prefer 1 really good post over 7 mediocre ones.
