Many people will ask us to tweet messages that don’t fit who we are, to be interviewed on topics that we may or may not understand, and to be an influence on or the face of matters we aren’t interested in. Once we have built our platform and people start to notice, we are given many new types of opportunities that can cloud our direction. As the platform grows and the audience expands, and as we become more comfortable in our position, we can then add to the house. We start out knowing exactly what we know and what we are okay with saying and to whom. Just as you need to lay the foundation before you can add the floor of a house, you need to lay the foundation of who you are before you can layer on top of it. When we begin to build a platform, we have a focus.
