ADVICE

Rigging the Deck for Success

  • Define clear pillars: Establish strong tenets for your projects, outlining what you will and won't do.
  • Ensure multiple win conditions: Don't solely focus on traditional metrics like popularity or financial success. Define success in multiple ways.
  • Prioritize process and people: Choose projects based on the value of the creative process, the connections you'll make, and the skills you'll develop.

Action Plan:

  1. Before starting any project, list your non-negotiable principles and potential alternative win conditions (e.g., skill development, networking).
  2. Evaluate projects not just on their potential outcome, but also on the journey. Will it be enjoyable? Who will you meet? What will you learn?
