Friday. Finish it.
Pretty much. The interesting thing is, while somethings are more fun than others, it is the entire spectrum that I enjoy. It’s the lessons that I learn and the defeat that I experience on a daily basis that generate the most forward momentum. Without that, there is no jump from “toying with a concept” to “implementing a successful idea”. Soak it up.

Social Power. If you know my friend Jess Holland, you know that she likes her some Whataburger. The burger spot is the best in Texas, especially at 2 AM - when in need of 100 taquitos for six friends (circa 2001). This shot of a DM Twitter response from Whataburger is what social is about for businesses - large and small. Jess is not only a valued customer, she is a socially popular one. This one gesture has already gone a long way. Jess was excited enough to fire out text messages and tweets about the attention received from this venerable Texas institution. And I was impressed enough to post it here for a different audience.
I don’t know how it happened, but somehow, Whataburger has a better Social Media operation than McDonald’s. This was just a great example.
For a creative-minded person. Creativity comes in waves. There’s a time when you can make something and thousands of people show their appreciation. There are other times that there is nothing to make, nothing to alter, nothing to influence. For a person that loves creation, that is a rough spot. It casts a shade over your view of your worth.
For those of you that thrive on creativity, here is a great list of 33. Read them and remove that doubt. When you do, you’ll see all of those reminders of work you’ve done that was good enough to persist without you.
“Whether you put that vision on a wall, on a blog, or on a sheet of paper next to your bed - if it means anything to you, it’ll happen. Just yesterday, I revisited an old vision board. I hadn’t thought about it in a while. I looked at it and then I looked around. There was little difference between what I aimed for - two years ago - and where I stand now. Even arbitrary numbers and quotes seemed to make more sense. When you have a vision for yourself, do your best to hold on to it. Because if you hold on to it, you will eventually hold it.”
