Just Make It Better

Ask me!

People keep emailing asking for one on one advice. They appreciate the direct approach I give. People in my personal life always call looking for guidance.

It got me thinking maybe the silent majority – those weary to ask or only curious of the answers – would like to get in on this too.

A new thing I’d like to try here on JMIB.

If YOU are one of those who are unsure of anything, just ask. Then I’ll post the question and my answer on the site. Any preference to anonymity will be respected.

I love him like the way people love cookies or Pixar. There’s just something about Seth.

Whenever I read his books, blog or watch a talk I feel fuzzy inside. It doesn’t matter if the topic is relevant or not, he always gets me inspired. I admire him in a way typically reserved for activists and world changers.

I would love to be his friend. Grateful having earned just to be in his presence.

I’d likely die from humility.

Then one day I realized I already have Seth. (We all can, really.)

That’s all you really need to do.

If it gives you joy you’ll want to do it more and more. You’ll be passionate about it and be willing to practice to get better at it. With that you’ll innovate and improve.

Loving it will make you okay at working hard at it. It will also give you the strength to ignore naysayers and   all-around mean people.

This will bring value to others and to what you’re doing because by loving it, you’ll have integrity, satisfaction and respect for what you produce.

People that care about what other people think make choices based on what other people are doing.

They are the same people that say:

That’s not how it’s done.

(Insert name, institution etc) wouldn’t like it.

People just don’t do that.

That wouldn’t look good.

It’s highly likely you’re one of them.

Have you ever said anything like that? Thought anything like that? Have you ever operated based on what something, someone, somewhere decides is good?
