Anxiety Happens, then Cast it Away

Anxiety Happens, then Cast it Away

Seth Godin’s post today is about how we all feel anxiety. “Perhaps it is due to the fact that you’re trying to control things that you can’t possibly control. Your anxiety might merely be a sign that you care deeply about your work. Anxiety is almost never a useful emotion to carry around. Even for […]

I’m Not Good Enough

I’m Not Good Enough

I’m listening to Seth Godin’s Linchpin this week and this point really struck a nerve with me. We are trained to not make mistakes. School is all about getting high grades by not making mistakes, but you can’t make art by not making mistakes.  No wonder we feel like we are wrong all the time. […]

September Reading

September Reading

The Elegance of the Hedgehog a novel by Muriel Barbery; translated from French by Alison Anderson.  Deep, so slow reading.  A look at how our thoughts (or avoidance of them) are our reality.   The Invisible Gorilla: and other ways our intuitions deceive us by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons.  Interesting exploration of how our […]

Bonhomie

Bonhomie

No Mind 2010-100 Originally uploaded by Ängsbacka Seth Godin said Bonhomie is underrated. I’ll take it one step further and say Bonhomie is essential. It’s what’s missing when Small Business Owners keep plugging away on their own. Many people go to a coffee shop to work, just to be around others. Other people isn’t what’s […]

Passion, Profit and Prosperity

Passion, Profit and Prosperity

If you follow your passion the money will follow. In some cases this is true, but in others it isn’t.  What makes the difference? People who are passionate about what they do and make a profit; put effort into making their passionate pursuit profitable.  It doesn’t mean they put less effort into their passion, merely […]
