How to Succeed

Heart of the Project

I'm in the midst of the project. I feel that my release date will have to be pushed back a few days. I was planning on releasing it this Sunday....but there are some more things I'd like to flesh out. One part of me just wants to put something out there, but I want it to be a good quality thing. So probably Tuesday or Wednesday is more realistic. I am working my butt off. Every spare minute I have is like doing this project. I am very passionate about it, yet at the same time, have objective criticism of everything so that I don't blindly fall in love with something just because I put in effort.

I am absolutely determined that this can work. I can't guarantee it will work right away, but by December 15, I think things will click.

It's good to be out of society's matrix of how they want everyone to live your life. To finally think ono my own and do what *I* love, not what they say is "important".

Ashley Qualls fan

Believe in yourself because nobody else will do it for you! It is very important to be confident and independent in life. If you don't think you can do something, you're the equivalent of a toddler that is dependent on others. Grow up and take charge of life.

One of my heroes is 17 year old Ashley Qualls. She epitomizes what I believe in, that if you have a vision and follow it with passion then you can do anything. Here is my favourite quote from her:

I believe anything you believe can happen- Success can come if someone truly believes in themselves and the goal/object of their desire. I think anyone can do anything they want, anytime.

She is so vivacious and says it like it is. I love it.

I Love Being Creative

Working in an office or most other jobs in the world, for me, are very tedious. There is no sense of accomplishment. I feel like a robot doing drudge work.

For me, really, the only way I feel like I accomplished something great is to do something creative. In the past that has always been artwork like painting or writing something good. The problem I always had with this was I couldn't see how I could make money off of art. I wasn't talented enough in art to compete with the Michelangelo's of this world, and even if I could write pretty good, why would someone pick my book out of the millions of books out there?

I still would like to write a novel one day but not right now. Right now I've been focused on my own thing and it's feels energizing to do something that can combine both artistic achievement with financial rewards. I have truly changed my mind from that of an employee to that of a confident entrepreneur.

And it feels great.
