Seth Godin Asks ME a Question

Ok, so he didn't ask me directly, but I love to read this guys books.

And I also read his blog, which he writes EVERYDAY.
Yup, Saturdays and Sundays too.

And today, he wrote something pretty much about what's on my mind these days.

I have been thinking about what kind of performing I want to do now, and basically "What's Next" as the year comes to a close. Here is what he wrote:

What's next?

What does a good day look like? A good week?

Who do you want to work with?

Who are you trying to please?

What sort of feedback brings you down?

What’s your tolerance for being misunderstood? By whom?

Is it about process or projects?

Which part of the project makes you happy?

At the end of the project, what would you like in return?

What diminishes the work?

How high do the stakes need to be?

How close to the edge do you need to dance? Risk? Resources? Failure?

What will you take? What will you give? Who will you connect?

How much freedom will you sacrifice to get what you want? How much commitment will you promise?

What are you measuring? Smiles, comments, traffic, cash, media response, friends, peers, insiders, outsiders?

Will they miss you when you're done with this?

Get on his Email list- he constantly challenges with new ideas, and perspectives!

Oh, and get his books too- TRIBES is fantastic!

When is the right time to potty train your baby? You might be surprised!

I have a 4 month old, and wow- I can't believe I'll be changing diapers for 2 more years!
Just for the heck of it, I went looking for a way to potty train earlier.

I know, 4 months is too soon, but still...

I found this: START POTTY TRAINING

Here's what I learned...

I dunno if it's too early to potty train my baby, but I figure if I learn now, when the time comes, it'll go easy!

How To Train Your Dragon (To Be A Racist) "2"

I just watched Dreamwork's "How To Be A Dragon 2" and boy am I racist.

See, the sequel is about how the peaceful Vikings and their pet Dragons are being threatened to wage war with another ex-viking from long ago.

Y'know, the black viking.

The one with Dreadlocks.

Voiced by the hardly-intelligible-to-begin-with Djimon Hounsou doing a sort of african-nordic-scottish accent.

"Well, at least there's a black guy playing him!" you say; "I mean, if there were no black people in this movie about Vikings, then you'd be marching and chanting about equal opportunity and affirmative action!"

"We had America Ferrera voicing a major part, isn't that enough?"

I keep using the word "voicing" so that you realize how ridiculous it is that in this movie there really is not only ONE black guy on screen, he is also the only one voicing himself- THE BAD GUY.

So, if you're wondering why it seems we can't get justice when black kids get killed, just have a movie night and explain to your kids that this dreadlocked foreigner HAD to be killed because he was trying to conquer those oh-so peaceful VIKINGS.

DREAMWORKS FAIL.

Is that how I fixed it last time?

"Where is the cover for the air conditioner?" I asked my ever-patient wife.

"I think it's gone" she said.

"Gone? Where could it have gone?"

"You said you think it flew off and fell down outside, remember"

"Oh.... Right. Is that why this cardboard is here? Did I fix it with this last time?"

"Yeah"

"Ok then... I'll just fix it like this again... for now.... like last year."

Don't judge me, you know you've done it.

Like that JOB that you were supposed to have as a "TEMPORARY" thing, that is now your Career.

Better Than Perfect?

I have a question for you-

What's BETTER than perfect?

If you are working on something being perfect

before you DO something....

Then ANYTHING is better.

"Good NOW is better than Perfect NEVER"

I have a friend who doesn't have a website AT ALL for her

acting business, and I have no idea why that is. It's been 7 years.

I have another friend who was constantly being asked for business cards.

It went on for years about how she wanted to make business cards.

She never made them... for years.

So, about 5 years ago, I made them FOR her.

-But she didn't like them.

In fact, she didn't want to hand them out when people would ask her for

them because she didn't like them enough.

But y'know what? Someone asked her for one when I had a few.

We gave them out anyway, because they were all she had.

She got calls and got business because of them.

You'd think that would prompt someone to make new ones,

but NOPE. She has yet to make new ones.

I wanted to make a spoof video of the Corona Commercials

because I hated them so much. But we were always waiting for the

perfect day to go to the beach, the perfect people, the perfect camera,

etc, and y'know what?

SUMMER IS OVER!

Also- Corona recently changed their whole campaign!

I missed the boat.

Choosing to DO SOMETHING NOW is better than being perfect never-

Make sure you've got your mind in the NOW, because that's the

only thing you have control of.

And if you've been waiting to start a business, you might want to 

just pick this one, and get started right now.

It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good!

And if you have issues with perfectionism, my friend Casey

just read the audiobook version of THIS BOOK. Get a copy!
