Happy Birthday Paul Klee
Dec 18, 1879 – June 29, 1940
Klee created over 10,000 works. We only see about 10 percent of any artists work. But it takes the other 90 percent to get there.

You can be busy, and stuck. Motivated and misaligned. Passionate and misdirected. But only when your Brand shows up fully aligned will it attract the right people. Work on your Brand. It’s easier. #artpreneur

This is so true about small business. It’s so FUN to START. Then the discipline begins. It’s just SO DAILY. The monkey wrenches. The metamorphosis that will inevitably take place. This is why entrepreneurs must have a purpose bigger than themselves. Normal supplies of energy will run out.

Your identity design is a tool you will use for many yrs. It is a FLAG that explains what you are all about. It tells potential clients what they can expect, & if you are well-managed––or NOT––as the case may be. What is the value of any other tool you use for 5+ yrs?? @designonething.bsky.social

Big data is so valuable to marketers and advertisers. But when you think about it, the things that are really valuable in life cannot be measured. Social Media thinks you are a data point. To me, you are a friend! What things should be listed on your balance sheet?

Abraham Lincoln's business card.
It was on this day in 1839 that 30-year-old Illinois state assemblyman Abraham Lincoln was admitted to practice law in the United States Circuit Court. Lincoln knew better- business cards do not have to be boring. Anything but boring. (Read the fine print!)
