GIVE YOURSELF DEADLINES

GIVE YOURSELF THE FREEDOM OF A ROUTINE

An amateur has amateur habits, a professional has professional habits. !

*Steven Pressfield - Turning Pro

THE “PERFECT” TIME DOES NOT EXIST

THE BATTLE OF FOCUS

GIVE THE GIFT OF YOURSELF IN THE PRESENT

FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIME

Eliminate the things in your life that are getting in the way of clarity and focus. !

THE BATTLE OF INSPIRATION

THE LOVE OF COMFORT IS THE ENEMY OF GREATNESS

The frightening and most difficult thing about being what somebody calls a creative person is that you have absolutely no idea where any of your thoughts come from, really. And especially, you don't have any idea about where they're going to come from tomorrow. !

*Hal Riney

IT RARELY HAPPENS IN AN INSTANT

We will often find inspiration only upon our first awkward attempt at progress. !

*Todd Henry- The Accidental Creative

!

• Gather information • Digest the info (seek mashups) • Let your subconscious mind work • The birth of the idea • The polish and shaping of the idea

TAKE ACTION

What you do is what matters. Not what you think say or plan. !

*Craig Damrauer

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY
