I can trace my success to 3 things
TED's Chris Anderson
Hi everyone,
Have you ever thought about what makes you great? What’s your contribution in this life? What gifts do you have naturally? What are you working on to improve?
Mark Twain gets credit for this quote and I believe it to be true. I also believe this idea is worth more thinking about…
“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
I can trace my success so far to 3 main things:
Tenacity
Creativity
Generosity
Generosity is sometimes misunderstood. At least I’ve misunderstood its power from time to time and been surprised by the return on my small investment. But if harnessed properly generosity can be like love — one of the most powerful forces on the planet.
As it happens, I sat down with TED Curator-in-Chief Chris Anderson about his new book, Infectious Generosity to unpack this mysterious virtue and compare and contrast the benefits of being a giver vs taker. The full-length video is up on my Youtube channel or on any audio platform where you listen to podcasts.
As always, my audio podcast and video series Behind the Brand is about helping you grow your self and biz. It’s a $0 cost solution designed for you to learn from some of the smartest and most successful people on the planet. I hope you’re taking full advantage of it!
If you’re an individual or company with a budget that needs help with brand strategy, marketing or creating original content [video, audio, photography], feel free to reach out and we can chat.
My production company, The Goodbrain has offices in Irvine and West Hollywood but we have clients in Seattle, NYC, Tokyo and wherever the project takes us.
That’s it for now. Thanks for your continued support and being part of this community!
