Show notes

As you may know, I've been traveling quite a bit this year.

It's been fun to meet many of you at the various events I've spoken at or attended.

One question I keep hearing is: "What's your favorite writing tool?"

It's always good to ask what's working for someone, but this question represents a popular misconception about creative work.

Why You Failed at That Last Goal You Set Jun 06, 2019

Show notes

You didn't fail.

The goal was to learn something, so if you learned, you succeeded. It's only when the unexpected happens and we don't learn from it that we really fail.

Why Anyone Buys Anything: How to Close the Sale on a Product Launch May 31, 2019

Show notes

Why does anyone buy anything?

Because the cost of not having it is greater than the cost of acquiring it.

How to Create Something from Nothing May 29, 2019

Your Minimum Viable Product May 28, 2019

Show notes

One of the challenges of being a creative professional is that you aren't always sure what people will buy.

It often feels like a game of Roulette, in which you have to create a lot of work, hoping someone will buy something.

But what if it didn't have to be that way?

What if you could sell something before you ever created it?

Product Launch Failure: How to Avoid It by Testing Before Your Build May 24, 2019
