Description

To produce great art, one must create a lot of less than perfect art. 

May I humbly suggest that this is an absolutely wise observation for us, who are dedicated to creating, devoted to producing and in the game of longing to make masterwork.

To make magic demands that we must generate a lot of mediocrity. [Please read that twice]. 

Yes, to arrive at a Sistine Chapel ceiling or a Taj Mahal or a Moonlight Sonata, you and I must exercise the bravery to risk. And dare. And get things (very) wrong (as we explore uncharted lands). Until we get things right. 

We need to be willing to fail. We need to keep going when quitting seems best. We need to ignore the critics and silence the inner cynic (oh how loudly it chatters!). And continue to produce work that seems bad in hot chase of work that will become amazing.

My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.
