Ya know I go back and fourth between saying “not reaching a goal is a failure” or “not reaching a goal was a change of priorities.”
As an idea guy maybe that’s my excuse for having more ideas than I’ll ever be able to implement, but if I focus on staying true to core principles I don’t feel as guilty missing concrete goal(s). Or is that me just fooling myself?
As for #3 “Be a motivator in and outside of work” I bet you make more of an impact than you will ever know. I’d call that one a success and I have concrete evidence to back it up
Brandon,
Thanks for your insight. I think you’re right about the change in priorities vs failure. I think more of my priorities changed this last year as me and my wife welcomed our first child in to the world.
As for #3, glad the evidence exists, I’ll take your word for it
For the book, I have been entertaining the idea of writing it on iterative website redesign. I have a few ideas outlined already but no single outline that I am super happy about. I am just going to start writing and see where it goes this year.
