Two confessions

First confession -- My name is Ann Lee Gibson, and I am an imperfect and intermittent blogger. Work, family, life, sleep and fun all conspire to keep me from being a daily, weekly or even monthly blogger. It ain’t ever gonna happen, and I’ve now accepted it.

Second confession -- I wanted this blog to be only about law firm competitive intelligence, hence the blog title. However, sometimes I also want to talk or vent about other law firm marketing topics that are only peripherally related to law firm CI. Therefore, I’ve decided that from now on I will unleash myself here on any law firm marketing topic I find I’m obsessing about, that has raised my blood pressure, or that tickles my funny bone.

Live with it.

And now, on to the next post.

Time for a law firm CI blog?

For some time I've thought it's time we had a blog on competitive intelligence that serves the business development and growth needs of law firms.

I'm a likely candidate to blog on this topic, since I work in the area of law firm CI. But for years I've thought of myself as an unlikely blogger, with the usual objections:

1. I'm too busy (true)

2. I'm afraid I'll look foolish if I publish something I haven't fully thought through (will surely happen)

3. What if nobody cares (that would surely eliminate concern #2 above)

So how's about I just hang out here and don't tell anybody about this blog until I get the hang of it.

Sounds good. Let's go.
