I want to create.

I have so many ideas, but I am not consistent in execution.

I cannot work with others.

I need to be in control.

I need to work alone.

I need to pick projects to work on
that are feasible for me to complete,
that align with my goals

What am I good at?
What am I bad at?
What are my strengths and weaknesses?

My aptitude for creative endeavors compels me.

I struggle with commitment, seeking outside resources to learn and grow, and maintaining a long-term focus.

I need to let passing fancies pass and not get so fixated, detoured.

I need to allocate my time to maximize my output.

Output is when all of the other pieces are in order.

I am an entrepreneur, and I have nothing to prove. I just want to be self-sufficient. I can create value out of thin air. I just need a vehicle.

I need to stop worrying and just do it.

Like Ogilvy said, “Take a break, disappear, and come back with a sharply defined idea.”

Stick to your guns and do not relent.

I have to let go of the idea that I need such-and-such aligned to succeed. I am just postponing, making excuses, being a rock in a river.

Success gravitates toward attractive people. I need to make myself attractive and make it undeniable that I create great value. Everything will fall into place.

Make cool shit and put it on the internet, over and over. I need to actually share my work, instead of hiding it away with lock and key for a rainy day.

So, this is all I need to do:

Let it all go. Whatever is truly important will come back. Focus on learning and creating.

Learning and creating.
Learning and creating.
Learning and creating.

Let go of lesser desires that have no impact and no purpose.

I need to surround myself with like-minded individuals so that we can lift each other up.

Focus on art.

Take 6 months to focus on art, learning, and creating. Develop skills and understanding.

Utilize all available tools; do not reinvent the wheel.

Write. Blog. Share.

Be consistent.

Cultivate a persona.

Keep it simple, stupid.

Take a simple idea and execute it as perfectly as possible, knowing perfection cannot be attained, but excellence is found along the way.

Iterate. If it doesn’t work, try it again and tweak the formula. Do this until it turns out right.

Keep moving forward and be true to yourself.

Nobody will ever hold me to an expectation that is higher than my own.

Burn the Boats.
