I’ve been reading and listening a lot to Seth Godin, the marketing guru / daily blogger. After all he’s the one who got me on this 3+ month blogging kick.
However, I wonder if some of his thoughts are for higher level stuff while I’m still trying to get my own craft locked down. Between the new gig (which uses a lot of old skills but still feels fundamentally different), and the fact I still haven’t gotten the work / family / exercise practice down, there’s some fundamentals I need to work on.
Even so, I think there’s a value to looking out past the horizon. I’ve always been a proponent of slow and steady growth in the profession, but also of constantly strategizing for the future.
Maybe delusions of grandeur aren’t so bad, as long as you remember it’s for the future and you don’t assume it’s happening today, right now, right now.
