You know when you ask someone a question and they run with it?

That’s most people, actually. Especially if you ask the right question.

And while you may feel like they are rambling; they feel like they’re connecting, like you’re empathizing, like they finally have someone to talk to who wants to listen.

It’s a gift of feeling good that we have the ability to provide simply by prompting them.

Is this your first time here?

What did you think of the meal?

Any other plans for this evening?

Who did you bring with you today?

It doesn’t make sense to keep an empty water bottle and only fill it up when we want/need water.

It doesn’t make sense to have an empty water bottle that we only fill a tiny bit throughout the day.

It doesn’t make sense to go a full day with an empty water bottle, thinking “I’ll fill it tomorrow.”

It doesn’t make sense to keep the empty water bottle out of sight or on the other end of the building.

Far better to fill the bottle in the morning, keep it close, and continue to top it off throughout the day.

We’re no different.

A clean space makes room for bright ideas.

Cleanliness adds positive energy to an area.

If it’s clean, it’s likely more organized. If it’s more organized, there’s likely more time to do valuable work.

A clean area makes one feel calm upon arrival.

And if that’s all just how you feel when your home, bed, workspace, journal, computer, email is clean. Imagine the impact you can make when you help others (whether you’re visible to take credit for it or not).

Step 1: Make and keep your home clean

Step 2: Make home wherever you are

You’ll thank yourself. And others will thank you, too.

Drip drip drip.

One step by on step.

Inch by inch.

One after the other.

They all feel far more enjoyable than:

Everything at once.

All right this second.

Sprint.

Someone waving at you is much different than someone waving you over.

Someone putting an ad in front of you is different than someone sharing a ticket for an event.

Posture matters when marketing. Hands down inviting people to an experience is far better than interrupting their lives to get some attention.

It doesn’t matter if someone else’s logo is on it.

It doesn’t matter if someone else signs off on it later down the road.

It doesn’t matter who is working on it by your side.

If it’s work you’re doing; it’s yours.

If you’re unsure how the draft you’ve written is coming along, remind yourself of the target.

If you’re unsure how to craft that next piece of your marketing plan, think back to the target.

If you’re unsure how to design a space, view it through the eyes of your target.

Starting with the target in mind is actually the easy part.

The hard part is regularly going back to it as you learn, grow and try new things.
