I’ve been keeping an eye on Creative Mornings for a while. It was started by Swiss Miss, who I really admire, and the videos are generally full of interesting ideas. I need to move to a city where they have a Creative Mornings, for sure. When I saw that Chris Guillebeau did a talk, I was interested.
I found Chris’ blog a few years ago, and I was captivated by his idea of world domination. For Chris, world domination doesn’t mean that you’re controlling armies and building bombs, it means that you do exactly what you want, and not listening to what anyone else says about it.
I like that.
His steps for success in creative pursuits are simple and versatile enough that they work for anything that people do that requires motivation, which is everything worth doing.
I like his ideas of finding a legacy, and the fact that a legacy is either about helping people or building something. Watching this kind of video puts me in that mood of cool motivation, which is really helpful for, like, life. And making great things.
However, when I compare this video to the books that Chris has written, like 279 Days to Overnight Success, I can’t help but notice that Chris is far more inspiring in writing. I find it funny, sometimes, how different people seem when you see them in videos versus what you imagined from their internet personas.
