The Importance of Side Projects
- FIND WHAT YOU LOVE. Don’t stop until you find it. You’ll know when you do.
- DON’T BE A COMPLAINER. Make things better.
- TRUST YOUR INTUITION. Your gut is always right.
- IF AN OPPORTUNITY SCARES YOU, TAKE IT. Being scared means you’ll learn and grow.
- FIND LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE. Make sure that they are a respectful and good bunch.
- COLLABORATE. Only good will come of it.
- IGNORE HATERS. They deserve none of your time. “Haters are gonna hate.”
- INSPIRE OTHERS. Be someone’s crazy aunt.
Tips are from “swissmiss” Tina Roth Eisenberg’s TYPO Talk: The Power of Side Projects and Eccentric Aunts—tips she would want to give her kids. They make sense for people of ALL ages.

Awesome example of fan-art—you can feel the love for all the characters.
Yes, great. If Maurice Sendak had drawn The Avengers, a loving homage by designer Hannah Friedrichs.

Fun activity!
Found an interesting article about how to be an optimist. As a small business owner, I find myself juggling many different roles on my own timeline and with client deadlines, it really helps to stay enthusiastic and passionate about our work. Sometimes, things will go not go as planned or someone else will get the business but bouncing back quicker (albeit slightly less painful) is something that starts to happen.
The only thing I’d add to this article is: surround yourself with excellent, passionate, creative, optimistic, hopeful people.
Keep far-far-away from the negative-nancy’s and debbie-downers, the catty and gossipy folks and the judgmental ones too.
As a self-starter, you’ll need to be surrounded by people who will uplift you because in essence, that is what you are doing.
