In starting something, there will be lots of things we don't like doing. BUT, there may be opportunities to turn those things you hate into things you love.

My natural inclination is to pursue one opportunity, wait for a "yes" or "no" and then move on to the next opportunity if necessary. But maybe there's a better way that gets us to a "yes" faster AND could potentially get us to a better "yes" in the end.

When we focus our energy on one off experiences or pieces of content, it only has an additive effect. But when we discover an overarching narrative, it gives us the opportunity for multiplication.

At some point, most of us think that there will be an end to asking for help. But that's an illusion. The bigger you get, the more help you'll need. Start early by asking for help at the beginning, and don't stop.

My Lyft driver told me some amazing stories of his ingenuity and entrepreneurship over the last few decades of his work life.

Here's a good way to start taking small steps everyday.

Sometimes, it can feel frustrating trying to communicate direction and vision. Here are two things to do if you feel like people just aren't getting it.

Having a big vision means years of really small steps. In this video, I talk with Andrae Bailey about how we continue to do that with IMMERSE. There's also some encouragement for creative people who are trying to grow their idea into a reality.
