Andy Andrews talks about the “Butterfly Effect” in one of his excellent books: How little changes can impacts others’ lives. It’s also very similar to the “Broken Windows” theory: Make little changes and eventually you’ll see big results. What little thing will change today? Whose life will you positively impact?
These are weird times for me professionally. People I once looked up to for support and motivation are no longer supporting or motivating me. I’m now working 12 1/2 hours a day and that’s not including any freelance work. I won’t lie: It’s a challenge both physically and mentally. I’ve had more discouragement in the past week than I have in the last ten years. If I needed other people to motivate me, I’d be in big trouble. Instead, I’m focusing on motivating others instead. Help them do great work. If you are the sum of your five closest friends, I want to be the very person I want to be surrounded by.
So my mission is this: Bring out the best in people who want to be the best. It will bring out the best in me.
