Art creates freedom

St Mary Lodge is nearby. We drove two-hours one way to enjoy dinner at The Snowgoose Grill. This dusk view of Divide Mountain is on our return across the Continental Divide on Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Art creates freedom from conformity.

This is learned behavior

The worker recently said, “I just do what I’m told.”

Safe.

No harm, no foul.

We spend a lot of time working.

Pick your attitude about what you want to accept because you’ll be living with it for (potentially) decades.

Using good judgment and taking initiative are far more important than just doing what you’re told.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

My email reply yesterday morning

An inside glimpse at my game plan. i map out timing down to the minute. The circles indicate a state change. Most slides have only a few words.

 

Great, authentic post Betsy.

The past few years i felt something but couldn’t put my finger on it. Your website is stunning and professional. And you offer a number of complimentary assets.

Social media, and all the recommended pieces (email subscription, blog, giveaways, videos, webinars, etc)…when everyone is focused on the same recipe, it creates a sea of “pick-me” look-a-likes (in my opinion).

So how does a customer decide?

What makes them pause, and say, “This is different. Not sure i like it, but let me have a closer look.”

Is it intrigue that is the key?

Is it boldness to not follow conventional wisdom?

Anyway, i enjoyed your transparency. i hope something in this email is helpful.

Peace and blessings.

Idiot idealists, right?

Idiot idealists, right?

Love them or hate them, if big dreams didn’t exist, the refrigerator never would have been invented. Or the car. Or books.

That echo that we hear, “Don’t go chasing crazy dreams, you’ll only end up being disappointed.”

Paradoxically, there’s the disappointment of regret.

It’s your call.

Good luck.
