Making Ideas Happen

Overcoming the Obstacles Between Vision and Reality

I read this book in 2011. This was probably one of the first books to truly motivate me to stop wasting time and instead take action to get sh*t done. It transformed me into taking my projects more seriously and led me down the path of developing my skills as a “leader”. I think prior to reading this book, I viewed a lot of my ideas as just fantasies or things that are nice to think about but could never happen. This book, along with many other books, articles and resources offered by 99U shifted that for me and made me realize my full potential in manifesting my ideas.

On Thursday, July 18th 2013, I was a guest on Heritage Radio’s After the Jump program which is hosted by Design*Sponge founder Grace Bonney. On the show we talked about being paid what you’re worth, ways to fund creative projects, the role gender plays when it comes to doing work for free and overall the struggle of making a living as a content producer. I really enjoy talking about these topics with Grace because she has been running Design*Sponge for about 10 years and has seen the blogging industry go through various phases.

You can listen to the interview on iTunes or stream it on Heritage Radio. Please feel free to chime in on the conversation by leaving a comment over at Design*Sponge.

Also, I was super stoked that 99u (one of my favorite blogs) tweeted about the interview!
