Grandma taught me a ton, and in some way or another, I learned these 14 things – take heed:
1. Think process, not product
2. Share something small every day
3. Tell good stories.
4. Teach what you know.
5. Don’t turn into human spam.
6. Learn to take a punch in the mouth.
7. Sell out.
8. Stick around.
9. Don’t wait until you know who/what you are to get started.
10. Write the book you want to read.
11. Do good work & share it.
12. Be nice (the world is a small town now).
13. Creativity is subtraction.
14. Be a heretic.

Sell out and Stick around, constantly an internal conflict for me!
Me too (don’t tell).
I don’t think your grandma told you to sell out. More likely she said be true to yourself! Stay authentic!

I’m trying to wrap my head around #13. Creativity is subtraction. I’m an over thinker so I could break this down a dozen different ways. Probably by subtracting the untangables. Kind of ironic right? But I’d rather save the brain cells and have you expand on this one for me with your own wisdomry.
Yes.
But by also simplifying and cleaning up – that’s creative. Creativity isn’t cluttered or over-thought. It’s removing the things that don’t matter, and leaving those that do.
