There’s no wrong way…

“There’s no wrong way to do it...”

Have you ever been given that advice? Did it make sense to you? Did it set you at ease? No, me neither. Let me tell you why that is the worst advice you can give someone who is trying to improve their craft, and why you NEVER hear it from anyone who is accomplished at what they do.

Let’s talk about creatives, getting better at what you do, and the absurdity of running over people every time you get in your car.

The importance of a catalog

Do you have a catalog?

if you call yourself a creative, then it is important to catalog your work. In that, I mean to take a step back and see the various foundations you’ve built. It’s a good idea anyway to take a step back, as many creators have to ask Does This Suck? (See the podcast episode of the same name if you’re having this issue).

My catalog – putting aside my fiction is as follows:

Alchemy for Life – the book, this podcast and the coaching. Helping you attain goals and get more out of life
The Status Game – understanding what all relationships are based on.
Three Voices – the three languages our brains use to communicate with ourselves and others
OneSelf – spirituality, religion or lack thereof – the OneSelf belief system

Understanding that helps me to categorize future works, and I only realized this after I was recently creating something new...

But that’s a secret.

Well, it’s a secret unless you listen to this podcast.

Japanese principles – helping you to fall in love with your job

There are a lot of lists out there for how to obtain happiness, productivity, etc. As you know Alchemy for LifeTM is exactly about that too. So, I’d like to not only share some of these principals, but tell you about my real world experience with them as well as what you will encounter by utilizing them. In other words, what the reality is of these things.

Ikigai – the intersection of all things good

The first is a big one, called Ikigai (pronounced EE-KEY-GUY). I stumbled on this a few years ago. It is the intersection of What you love, what the world needs, what you’re good at and what you can be paid for. Check out the VENN diagram when you listen to the podcast. People talk about this a lot, but don’t really discuss where you start. I think that is one of the most important things to focus on when considering this outlook. Listen for the full discussion.
