Talking about success and things while spinning the positive

How I plan to use my new medium acct

I've got to say I’m pretty excited to be using Medium. I've watched some of the cool folks I follow on Twitter using it and been waiting for my invite like a kiddy on Christmas eve waiting for the big fat man to come down the chimney.

When my invite came through last night I knew exactly the kind of things I was going to contribute here. My personal blog www.thebenlumley.com has become a bit ranty at times and a bit industry drive. I write about work stuff and rant about things that bother me. But there’s more to me than that.

Where as some people see me as the ranty, moany, angry guy, there’s also a big bit of me, that I've kept out of my public persona for a while that believes in hard work, the value of thinking positively and that’s driven by understand why people do what they do. It used to be a big part of my public persona and even though it’s completely ingrained in who I am these days I talk less about it than I used to.

So I want to use Medium to help share of that more positive side of me, the side of me that is old and wise and try and share of the stuff that I've learnt so that other people can have those “oh yeah I totally get that” moments.

I gave a talk recently at #secwed (aka www.secondwednesday.org.uk) on success and productivity which seemed to go down really well. So I’m going to use my medium acct to discuss similar, motivational topics.

Site back and enjoy the ride!
