Is It Remarkable?

Garth Beyer

There’s a quick way to gauge whether you’re personally making an impact somewhere, and it’s to answer one question: Would you be missed if you were gone?

It’s different than “could they still do what needs to be done without you?” because that answer should be yes. Rather, missing you if you were gone hints at the value you’re adding and the legacy you’re creating.

But what about gauging the impact of the work itself? Well that’s a similar question: Is it remarkable?

Remarkable as in the the guarantee that people will talk about it once you ship it? Remarkable as in is it designed to be shared? Remarkable as in is it worth remarking about?

If you wouldn’t be missed if you were gone, then it’s time to step it up.

If the work won’t be talked about once it’s out in the world, then it’s time to step it up.

Stay Positive & Step By Step, Really
