This post is part of a weekly feature called the Passion Series…enjoy!

Every day we are in constant evolution, trying to, as Erika Napoletano often says, become the next better version of ourselves. Ellory Wells understands this all too well, as he is constantly in a state of personal growth and development.

Titled Empowering the 80 Percent, Ellory’s blog revolves around empowering people to bridge the gap between their current leadership capabilities and their leadership potential. He focuses on encouraging people to see themselves as valuable, and on how to build better teams and successful partnerships in business. He is doing extremely well for himself considering he was laid off a few short years ago in 2009. He ‘rose from the ashes’ so to speak, tapped into his passion, was able to land a job doing what he loved, and is now building a personal brand for himself and assisting others in the community he has built around his blog.

I personally feel like I learn so much every time I visit his blog. He has put so much effort into helping people shine, I’m so happy I get to share his blog with my audience as well. Here’s what he had to say.

Has blogging helped you in any emotional or creative way?   

Blogging has definitely pushed me to become more creative. As I look at branding myself and my blog, I have to find new and creative ways to do that. Additionally, as most bloggers do, I am continually trying to find new and creative ways to build and draw traffic.

Has blogging daily/weekly helped you achieve any personal goals?  

I typically blog twice a week, sometimes three times. I write about leadership, personal development and developing a leadership mindset. With those three topics, I’m constantly having to learn and grow, not only for myself but to help others who have started coming to me for coaching. I read about a book a month and share what I’ve learned. My goal is to continue on this path of personal development.

Does the ritual of daily/weekly blogging give you motivation to pursue things you are passionate about?  

I know that building a community takes time. The ritual of weekly blogging provides a rhythm and helps me gain momentum.
