“I realized the other day that most people grow up thinking in terms of professional affiliations. ‘I’m going to be an accountant…I’m going to work for General Dynamics.’
Somehow, I always thought of my career as a series of projects, not jobs. Projects… things to be invented, funded and shipped. Sometimes they take on a life of their own and last, other times, they flare and fade. But projects, one after the other, mark my career. Lucky for me, the world cooperated and our entire culture shifted from one based on long-term affiliations (you know, ‘jobs’) to projects.” -Seth Godin
Whatever you’re thinking about doing, whatever goals you have for yourself (big or small)…why not turn it into a project? Design a work plan complete with tasks and micro-tasks. Set deadlines. Figure out how much money you need. Make a financial plan. Create a budget.. And go.
Everything becomes real once it’s a project.
Or better yet, nothing gets real until it’s a project.
