I purchased my personal domain name a little more than a year ago to begin my personal branding.  I read an article in Entrepreneur magazine this week that kind of served as a catalyst to get this blog going.  In coming blogs I plan on journaling at least on a weekly basis.  Come back to Dale Merritt dot com and I'll look forward to seeing how this blog goes. I own a company called DotVentures, LLC and invest in domain names and developing online real estate.  I also own hundreds of first names if you're interested in acquiring your first name.  These domains will one day be as valuable as regular real estate in my belief.
