You Owe It To Yourself To Unleash The Artist Within

I woke up this morning at a silly hour of 3am. It happens to me often especially when my mind is overstimulated and I’m too excited to get on with my day and all that I want to achieve.

I’m happy to say I’ve had a productive two hours already and my early start was topped off by seeing that Chris Guillebeau had written a great post about Seth Godin’s new book Linchpin.

I’m a huge fan of both so that the fact that Chris got to interview Seth was a double bonus. If you haven’t checked out either of their blogs then I highly recommend you do.

I was particularly drawn to Seth’s response below that inspired me to write this post and encourage all of us to unleash the artist within and create a brilliant canvas for ourselves and others that we want to reach out and touch:

“What I am writing about is the ability of each of us, without authority or permission, to do work that matters, to have an impact and to create a place for ourselves in a society that’s brainwashed us into doing something that’s an easily replaced commodity.

A big part of that is acting like an artist. Being personal, making change, communicating a vision. I wrote this book for every single person who’s frustrated with the status quo and wants to do more and better work.”

I do. I’m sure you do too otherwise you wouldn’t have started your business, you wouldn’t have created that product or service to better someone’s life, you wouldn’t dare to challenge the world each and every day as an entrepreneur.

I have a huge canvas that I aim to paint a masterpiece on and I’m so glad you’re here to join me in making my vision a reality. The recent redesign of this blog is just one part of palette and there’s much more to come.

I’m tuning in every day this week to a great initiative by Sue & Steve called the Millionaire Affair , whereby they’re interviewing some of the most prolific movers and shakers like Gary Vaynerchuk and Sarah Prout  in the online business world today.

As of February 1st I’m super excited to be one of just 150 people partaking in the 30 day $100 Business Forum by Chris Buillebeau and the amazing Pam Slim (Author of Escape from Cubicle Nation), where we’ll start a small business on a small budget.

What’s more I’m still buzzing about my recent collaboration with the awesome Felicia Lee, Ghost CEO Advisor and resident Business Coach for WomanzWorld.

I’m also working in overdrive to bring you some excellent interviews over the next few weekens with some incredible women – stay tuned.

Finally I’d like to thank the talented, dedicated and super wonderful Leah for the redesign of WomanzWorld. We’re so close! She’s also an entrepreneur and I highly recommend her – although give her a few days rest as I’ve worn her out!

Here’s to always challenging the status quo and asking the best of yourself!
