I laughed at a post from Not Hired called “Brand You–NOW WITH EXTRA ANNOYING” but I think there’s a lesson to be learned here… does whatever you are branding yourself to be actually make sense? Or really, when you boil it down, are you just talking without anything to say?

The Beauty of 1.0

December 6th, 2007

[Image]A few months ago, a friend reminded me of “The Beauty of 1.0″… or the idea of just jumping out there and trying. Who cares if you mess it up?

For a while I’ve been unfocused or, euphemistically “wide-lensed”, and really “sponging” up information.  My number of twitter followees is out of control and the amount of information flooding into my various inboxes reminds me of Seattle’s recent deluge.  It turns out that waiting for the right moment, the right idea, the right thing may have actually undermined my ability to do something… anything.

Las Vegas StripThe fascination, though, with all this is the kindof standing in Time’s Square for the first time, or a 15 year old boy walking down the Las Vegas Strip wondering if his hormones had died and gone to heaven.  At the end of the day, I LOVE THE BLINKING LIGHTS and the infomercial-sized conversations and information that stream across my attention plane each day… but I have allowed my fasicnation with them to interrupt my execution of the things I need to do.

No longer!
