New Year, New Opportunities

We’re a full week into the new year. What new opportunities have you already begun creating for yourself?

Often, we as creatives get stuck in a mindset that if we are faithful to creating the right environment for an opportunity to come, then it will come when the universe is ready for us to have it.

I don’t believe that. I believe opportunity comes PER what we prepare, execute, and repeat.

This, Not That

A tool that I have used for many years to help brands further define their identity is one that I believe we could all use in our own creative work.

“This, Not That” is simply a small list of protocols usually, but limited to, terminology. For brands, it’s important to be consistent in messaging, both internally within the organization and externally in market messaging. Unfortunately, like many creatives, not many organizations define the lane of their lingo or practices. This is where a small, repeatable list comes in handy so well.

Here are my top five ways to cultivate what you desire most.
