Change, Passion and People Support

When changing things, as the level of change grows, the people support drastically drops. That's where passion comes into play.

Creativity And Need For Approval

Creativity and the need for approval don't go well together. Your very own creativity is usually something very few people will be able to understand.

Some Spaces Are Better Left Empty

Web design and usability 101: some spaces are better left empty.

Being One Step Ahead

It's tough to be one step ahead all the time, because you're always on your own. That's it, nothing to copy.

Social Media Engagement

Social media engagement: let's engage so I can shine. Sadly, that's often what social media is: getting involved just to shine individually.

Your content suck for [...]

"Dude, your content suck for SEO." "Dude, your content suck for actual people." Yeah, find the balance.

If only I had a good idea

There's a lot of bad was an idea can be executed. Even for good ideas. So it's not about getting good ideas.

I hear and read this everywhere: “If only I had a good idea, then I could X”. Replace X by “start a business”, “get rich”, “change something”, etc.

The reality is that good ideas are often badly executed and the end result is no better than if it had been a bad idea at first.

So, it’s not about getting good ideas. It’s about executing well.

Sometimes it's a good idea to take a break. Creativity is something that just happens, not that you can force
