Are you like me, always wanting to tweak and revise things? I love designing. In this episode of Stumbling Toward Genius, I try a new format. You’ll hear a few more personal stories from me from my studio and life. I share these so you know I’m not sitting on the sidelines with everything all figured out. I am in the creative zone with you, figuring it out as I go!
Here’s how it often goes. We have an idea for a book. It can grow inside us for years. We love this idea and we cherish it. Our idea expands and morphs and gives us a sense of having something precious. But I believe our ideas have a shelf life. Our talents are not Twinkies with no expiration date. I also believe that making our ideas real is way more satisfying than holding onto them, cherishing the sense of possibility.
In this episode, I’ll share some of the common pitfalls that keep us at the starting gate of a book or any other project. You’ll hear about the new book I am writing and how I am going through all these pitfalls even though this is my 9th book. And, I’ll give you strategies that help me and my clients get past the obstacles that we stumble over when we get started with a project.
Also in this episode, you’ll hear about a major creative win I had last month and my unexpected response when it came to fruition. (Plus how I coped with that weird reaction!)
I also share how I am getting more reading time into my life and how this is making me feel more me. Plus, how I get through self-guided classes where there is no accountability from the teacher.
