I was having a conversation on Skype with a new client of mine today and we got onto the subject of transparency, authenticity and being true to the passions that drive you in both business and pleasure.

It struck me that even in the world of blogging and the wider community, it’s difficult to hold true to those values. We start out with a thirst for connection – to touch people with the information we put forth and inspire others with the power of our words. Usually our enthusiasm is limitless, it flows in unending quantities, effecting those around us.

Yet over time we succumb to the status-quo. Slowly the influence of others beings to seep in. We question our choices, are we doing this right? Should we be taking this approach?

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but when we start changing the very core of what drove us to hit publish in the beginning, we lose that spark, that uniqueness that sets us apart from everybody else.

Stacey: It is interesting that you see new third party applications based on Wordpress. Pressidium could try to give Squarespace a match! ;)

Actually Martin I do, and I wrote about them in my latest article. It’s a managed WordPress hosting company called Pressidium. What they’re offering customers is something the industry simply doesn’t have. This puts them in an awkward position whereby they’ll need to change the way people think about hosting in order to succeed. I think this is extremely brave and is a perfect example of a group of people doing what they’re passionate about, despite the difficulties they may face.
