The Creator Of ‘Dilbert’ Will Teach You A Shit Load
Growing up, my dad bought me many books each month as a treat. One of those was a small book of office cartoons called ‘Dilbert.’ I don’t have the book any longer, but it stuck in my head. It’s simplicity and beautiful design was a work of art. Years later, through listening to a podcast, I got to know who the author was — a man named Scott Adams. He’s no ordinary guy and his recipe for success and for life have some really valuable insights. He doesn’t pretend to know it all, but he thrives on planting new ideas in peoples heads and questioning everything we’ve ever believed.

Make Your Content Count. Every Damn Time. Don’t Waste A Single Fucking Word.
Every time you see Metallica, they get up on stage and play Master of Puppets. They don’t skip that song. You know why? Because no matter what, no matter how old the song is, no matter how many times they’ve played that track, people always want to hear Master of Puppets. There’s this fucking idea that if you want to make content you have to always make something new, every day. Like, it’s not good content if it’s not fresh. Your hits don’t matter, you’re only as good as the next post that goes viral. You’re only as good as the next click frenzy.

Endure long enough to get noticed
How many great TV shows have you discovered in season 3 or later? I started watching Game of Thrones after they had released 5 seasons. Pat Flynn had released at least 100 episodes of his podcast before I even knew he existed. I discovered Hard Core History years after Dan Carlin started producing it. This is such a common experience. There is so much content being produced that we can’t possibly discover it all. So instead we wait for the best content to float to the surface after time. If step one in building an audience is to create great content, step two is to endure long enough to get noticed.

Or, even worse, they’re perfect for that next project you have planned, and you don’t want to waste them on the project you’re working on now. Write them up anyway, even if they never get posted. You don’t have to post every great idea you have, and you probably shouldn’t. But you can’t hoard your best stuff, either.
