Losing your Blog...and "Do Overs"

Maybe I should understand this better...all I wanted to do was convert my old blog from an old email to my new Google email so that I didn't have to remember multiple email addresses, etc. In the process, I lost my previous blog and all the great and insightful postings I had written. (Okay, maybe most were lame but it was 6 months of ideas.) I even tried to read the directions before attempting this. Maybe that was my problem. I should have tried to do it without following the directions.

Oh well, this is my chance to start over and develop a more meaning blog. We will see how it works out. How often in life to we get a chance to start with a clean slate? I am pretty sure no one will miss my previous blog, not even me. Maybe a more important lesson is that rarely do we get a chance to "do it over" like we did when we were kids. Wasn't that one of greatest rules ever invited by kids? The "do over". Maybe in business we should develop a "do it over" when we make a mistake. I know a few credit unions like Van City are doing things that are almost "do overs" but maybe we should all go even farther. Wouldn't that be a powerful brand. Don't worry if they mess up, they will do it over so it meets your satisfaction.
