Why Try To Get Out Of Your Box, When You Can Use What's In It?
If the path toward promotions is setting others up for success then we’ve gotta get good at defining, coordinating and excelling at jumping off.
Have you taken the project 90% of the way there?
Is the strategy and the bones and the foundation in place?

The answer is likely yes. Someone else has done it.

Has someone done it that is targeting the exact demographic, geography or community AND with the same exact product or service you are?

Enjoy it while you can.
Craft and send the email while you have downtime.
Work on the project in that window of time you have open.
Start your outreach campaign in that pocket of time you have before your meeting starts.
Appreciate the little things in that moment before the big things take priority again.
There’s no shortage of time to make the most of.

Hit send on the outreach email. Hit send on your art. Hit send on making a new connection. Hit send on your idea. Hit send on a blog post.
Stay Positive & Tomorrow, Hit Send Again

The result of coming up with an idea can feel gratifying, so much so that we might just by turned off by the work that would need to be done to bring the idea to reality.
The result of delivering the idea – bringing it into reality, though, is more gratifying than the ideating phase can ever be.

Those are two magical words.
They can be used to inspire. “Here, try it like this.”
They can be used to connect. “If you loved that place, then you will like this.”
It merges familiarity and encouragement.
Magic.
