The question that has been on my mind, yet I didn’t know how to phrase it. Thank you Seth for putting words to my thoughts.
I have a number of side projects, and there is a ryhme and reason to most.
Here is a template for asking questions around projects that was finally put into words by Seth:
- What is it for?
- What is it not?
- Does this leave an impact on someone’s life?
- (Optional, but should be yes) if this doesn’t ‘succeed’ will I still be glad I did it?
Vlog project.
What is it for? To practice talking in front of a camera, collecting thoughts and saying what is on my mind in the moment.
What it is not: A way to get a billion followers on YouTube.
Does it leave an impact in someone’s life?
Probably not, it’s not meant to. It’s not art in itself, it’s a be chick for creating and experimenting.
Daily 6 week blog on thoughts.
What is it for? Collecting thoughts and a practice in looking for more. To practice writing, the only other daily writing I do is email and documentation.
What is it not?
A NYT best selling book. A story book. A top 10 blog.
Does it leave an impact on someone’s life?
Maybe, but probably it will just be a useful tool for me, for future projects.
Training Video
What is it for?
An experiment in video based training.
What is it not?
A creativelive course.
Does it leave an impact on someone’s life?
I hope that 5 people get a ROI that is useful for them on their website.
To sum this up in the words of Marie Feorleo…It looks like I’m a ‘Multi Passionate Entrepreneur’
