End It

Finish is part of my New Year Evolution. To me it means both complete stuff, and end stuff that isn’t cutting it anymore.

Since February 2009 I’ve run a LinkedIn group called ‘Is Bad Behaviour Killing Big Business?’. Over time we’ve had loads of good conversations – done some wonderful networking and sparked some useful creative ideas together. And then, sometime around the end of 2011, I lost the drive to continue curating the group. Early in 2012 I wrote to all the participants about the state of the group and a few people encouraged me to keep on going. I tried – and the moment has passed, the love is lost.

About ten days ago I wrote to all the members again, this time to inform them of my decision to delete the group. I’ve concluded that the last thing the world needs is a dormant LinkedIn group, though to be honest with the amount of spam on there maybe a quiet refuge ain’t so bad eh? But seriously folks – you can’t engage with everything, at least not effectively. So today I have deleted ‘Is Bad Behaviour Killing Big Business?’

Finish is part of my New Year Evolution. To me it means both complete stuff, and end stuff that isn’t cutting it anymore. What can you end?
