After listening to too many podcasts my brain becomes resistant to more ideas. I need space for the thoughts I have to grow. Through drawing, through listening to music, I can decouple.
I went along to Ingrid Lill's Branding Cafe this week. Ingrid inspired me to think a lot about the type of person I want to serve. Who is my ideal client? The answer I gave her, and the drawing of him I saw on the page didn't exactly excite me. And this thought, this image, stuck in my head.
Who do I really want to serve?
After seeing my favourite band last night - Low - I gained a new perspective. Artistic, creative endeavour requires risk. Alan missed a few notes when he was playing. Did that stop the show from being awesome? No. It only increased and then resolved the tension.
My message to you today is - don't settle. If you feel bored by what you're doing, or who you're doing it for, then you have a choice. It doesn't mean you need to change what you do, only find someone else to serve.
Today's podcast episode is inspired by drawing, system mapping and thoughts about bringing clarity through visualisation.
