September 25, 2017Why Anxiety Is A Sign You're Doing Something Important (Part 2)
I'm doing a lot of new stuff at the minute and it scares me and makes me anxious. Here's why that's important.
Yesterday I covered my story, and why doing things you’re scared of is important
Today I want to carry on, and go into my story a bit more
I’ve been getting into a lot of marketing things lately that I’ve never tried before
And I’ve bought a couple of courses
Tried stuff out I’ve never done
Started a daily email newsletter
Working on a creating some video courses
Even trying to write a book
All of that stuff scares me
Every year, we do a big print project for a client, and it terrifies me
I get genuinely anxious about it for weeks
But it’s worth it: to grow, to get better, to produce amazing work

September 24, 2017 Why Doing Stuff You're Scared of Is So Important - My Story (Part 1)
I've been preaching for a long time that doing stuff that makes you scared is a good thing. Today I go into a bit more detail.
Staying in your comfort zone for too long isn’t good for you
You get:
Comfortable
Complacent
Arrogant
Doing new stuff that scares you a bit:
Challenges you
Stretches your capacity
Creates growth through pressure
Humbles you
My daily challenges
I do them to stop complacency
To force myself to grow
Podcasting has been the biggest challenge I’ve every taken on, because I’ve had to learn so much
It’s taught me things about speaking, sound design, new apps
In 9 months I’ve learned so much

September 23, 2017 You're Competing With Nobody But Yourself
We need to learn that in life, we're good enough and really we should stop comparing ourselves to others.
Today I’m talking about mindset and marketing.
In episode 3 I spoke about caring less what people think
I wanted to expand on that topic a bit more today by talking about competition between you and other people
Comparing ourselves to others
The good side
You have a bar to set yourself against
It forces you to work harder
Sometimes you can achieve more than you would normally achieve
The bad side
You have TOO HIGH of a bar to set yourself against
Constantly inferior
You’re never good enough
You beat yourself up
You’re miserable
YOU are good enough
Just being you in your marketing and life is unique, you don’t have to copy anybody
I see the best personalities around when they’re comfortable being themselves, and they’re competing with nobody else.

September 22, 2017 Why Is Apple's Website SO Effective?
What makes Apple's website so good, and so effective?
It looks good, and a lot of what Apple does is all about looks.
It’s content is written well. It’s witty.
iMac Pro - “Power to the pro.”
MacBook Air - “Make big things happen. All day long.”
iPad Pro - “Anything you can do, you can do better.”
It’s got a good concept. Most pages are conceptually designed well. The pages take on the look of the product.

September 21, 2017 Discovering What You Are and Selling It
We all spend years trying to fit into other people's moulds. This is a story about how I stopped doing that, and learned to enjoy myself more than ever.
UPDATES
My podcast is now FINALLY in Apple Podcasts
My website has a link to it
I’ve launched The Daily Email
THE EPISODE
What are we really? What are we uniquely good at? Most of us never think about that.
Zone of Genius, as it’s called in my fave new book, The Big Leap.
Most of us work up to a level of excellence in our careers, and we stay there.
Our motivations for staying there are usually 2 things: comfort and money
When we’re excellent at something it’s easy, and it makes us a lot of money
But it doesn’t truly satisfy us. Not deep down
Because it’s not truly what we are
Ever since I read a book a couple of months ago called The Miracle Morning, I’ve been thinking a lot about my zone of genius, and what I’m uniquely good at
My podcast has changed over time to reveal it too
I’m a designer and a web designer by trade. That’s what I spend about 60% of my time doing. The rest is emails, meetings etc.
I love it… but.
What really gets me fired up is helping people, teaching people, and talking to people.

EPISODE 3
The biggest thing that holds us back in life is caring about what other people think about us too much.Shownotes
The biggest thing that holds us back in life is caring about what other people think about us too much
When it comes to podcasting, videos, or any other personality marketing, you have to learn to care less
If you don’t you get paralysed with inaction
