		<description><![CDATA[Time to change. To broaden horizons, make a difference, serve and sanctify. Motivate, innovate and inspire. I want to be more to you, for you, with you. To do things better. That's why I have to go. Will you come with me so we can discover this brand new world together?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I feel like I&#8217;m betraying my lame horse, by buying a thoroughbred. I mean, there&#8217;s nothing <em>wrong</em> with my name, per se, but it doesn&#8217;t mean anything to you. And mention Dave Thackeray on the street, and few things would happen &#8211; unless there was a cop at close quarters who was tight with Interpol. Even then, the bounty might not be sufficient for him to be distracted from his present routing to Krispy Kreme.</p>
<p>Bob Booby alluded to it yesterday. He was on the money. The nearest he&#8217;s got to being on the money in the recent past was sitting on a 5p coin lodged between horizontal and vertical sofa cushions, so I applaud him this time &#8211; but I digress&#8230;</p>
<p>In between a cursory reading of the YAAAAAR-WHAOOO-UMM otherwise known as Crush It! and waking up one morning to a bright white light (it&#8217;s ok &#8211; I forgot to close the curtains), I realised what I&#8217;ve been doing wrong.</p>
<p>It all started as a personal odyssey, to write a post of meaning every day to the death of 2010.</p>
<p>But like all self-absorbed bloggers I took an unreality check and decided that in place of blogging for personal fulfillment, I would instead create missives of such winnable awe that I owed it to civilisation to find a larger stage.</p>
<p>Maybe it&#8217;s my indescribably yearning to be an actor.</p>
<p>Irrespective of hopes and dreams, I suddenly understood what I&#8217;d been doing wrong.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t build a dynamite  brand by being yourself. You have to be bigger than yourself. Bigger than a name &#8211; a philosophy, a solution, a Way.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m reverting to a plan I once held close, that at the time didn&#8217;t truly behove any hint of success.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t ready. I was raw. I didn&#8217;t know what I wanted. All the dice had fallen on fives. I was showing twos.</p>
<p>The masterplan is to reenter the blogosphere with a service-driven strategy.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m ideas. I love to help (skills, not cash). I write. I want the two to marry and have mad crazy sex with each other, and bear numberless fruit, which I suppose would take the form of either words (content) or advice (inspiration) to help people achieve their true potential.</p>
<p>Enter NotYourAverageWriter.com</p>
<p>Go now and it&#8217;s a collection of Twitter summaries. It&#8217;s the Pantheon before it was built. It&#8217;s Adonis minus the good looks.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the way ahead.</p>
<p>Everything here &#8211; everything I&#8217;ve ever blogged for myself &#8211; will be the beating heart transplanted into a new corpse.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-623" title="Seeds of change" src="http://www.davethackeray.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/cornfields-e1268261954190-1024x374.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="189" /></p>
<p>Everything I&#8217;ve ever offered here &#8211; including the <a href="http://www.davethackeray.com/10-ways-i-can-rock-you/">10 things I can do, free, for you</a> &#8211; will be on show, available, as ever.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m through with unknowing. I have direction, focus, a charming offensive. I want to show I&#8217;m the best in class. Ego and vanity aside (if you looked like me you&#8217;d <em>know</em> it was futile) I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s noone who could stimulate you with motivation and ways to be better, than I.</p>
<p>Come for the ride. It&#8217;ll be great, and good. Wild, and calm. A stroll in the park, a chase of the storm.</p>
<p>And thanks for meeting me here. You&#8217;ve been a wonderful friend.</p>
<p>Now go.</p>
