Haste Makes Waste

Expediting is different from rushing.

Taking shortcuts, hustling, and compromising may end up in re-doing.

Tell Your Story

Typography, just like headshots and outfits, may be all that people notice. Especially when they’re in a hurry.

Make sure your typography helps tell your story.

Say ‘No’ to Say ‘Yes’

Saying ‘not right now’ to prospects can be terrifying.

But saying ‘no’ to them means you get to keep saying ‘yes’ to the customers you’re willing to delight.

Speak Their Language

Pay attention to what they do.

If it’s different from what they say, be curious about the fears that get in their way and the dreams that drive them.

Respect for Others

Before engaging with them, ask yourself: ‘What do they expect from me?’

How do they expect your hair, the condition of your cuticles, your demeanor, your friends, and tactics to be?

When their eyes are on you, let your hair, cuticles, demeanor, friends, and tactics speak for you: ‘I care to see you!’

Responsibilities Over Rights

Behaving with entitlement feels so right today but creates more work for tomorrow.

The work to mend relationships and regain serenity ultimately keeps us from the goal we set out to achieve in the first place.

That’s why fulfilling responsibilities is more worthwhile than asserting rights.

Be Fearless

Most of us act out of fear. Everyday we put on a show, seeking one more day of employment, recognition, and acceptance.

Then there are some who reject fear and its accompanying burden. They dance as if no one is looking, and give as if they have an endless reserve

Employment, recognition, and acceptance seek THEM out!

Be Brave

Bravery is having courage despite fear of rejection.

Practice bravery everyday by being kind, making the first move, speaking up, rejecting what’s useless, elevating the dejected, choosing right over pleasant, letting them go first, and preparing for tomorrow.

Take Control of Circumstances

Caring to be thorough and diligent today will save hours of headache for the entire team tomorrow,

We create circumstances, they don’t happen to us.

Is It Worth It?

Your work may never scale.

Or it just may.

Even if it doesn’t scale, would it stop decay for even a second and give even one individual the chance for a better tomorrow?

If it’s worth it, then go all-in!
