Defining Success.

Alex Bogusky (of you know where) has some wise words for young Creatives....or people who do creative work at agencies.

Am I going to be successful?

"Great question. This is a question that seems to be the hidden question behind most of the questions I get asked. And the answer is you probably will be successful but probably won‘t come in the form you’re imaging. Not even close. But when you realize it’s happened you’ll look up and it will feel good and it will be fulfilling."

I get it so how do I define success for myself?

"Be honest. Be respectful. Be good. Set positive goals for yourself that can benefit lot’s of people. You’ll have lot’s of support because what’s good for you is good for them. Some people think they have to knock somebody else to get into a top spot. I’ve know people that thought they needed to knock me down to get up the ladder. It rarely works that way because there is infinite room for success and you’ll just get distracted from your true goals."

So what do I do once I have a personal definition of success and a job too?

"...don't expect anyone else to be responsible for who you are or what you do..."

And finally

"Don't exaggerate. Don't complicate. Very humble versions of success can lead to a wonderful life adventure. You don’t have to make it seem grand for it to become grand as it becomes reality."

Haha...this dude and his post makes me feel like my dad is talking, specifically for me. And I love it. Read alot more words of wisdom here.
