What You Put In

What you put in, is what you get out. If you want to know more, you need to learn more (Udemy courses are cheap and a great Getting Started). If you want to have more experience, find more work (not always the easiest) but you can lower your rates, reach out to groups you wouldn’t normally hit up, market yourself to other companies, engage in freelancing, build “stuff” for yourself while looking for that great opportunity.

Shipping Your Product

What product are you shipping? Is it your code?  Your writing?  Your art? It probably isn’t what you think it is and/or at least not in the tangible form that you would associate with being a typical product. It’s something more, something bigger. Your value.

Recyling Ideas

I see it with other bloggers, I see it with my own writing. I’ll have a spark of a great idea, start writing the draft, and then see that I wrote about it before with that elusive “-2” added to the post URL. I used to get bummed out “I stole my idea” but not anymore. I write the post, I push it out and only then do I go back and look at what I had previously written.
