Marketing Your Creativity

Lately I have been so inspired by my friend Alisa aka Ducky’s Always Hungry.  It all started several months ago at Cake Day.  Our office celebrates all of the birthdays and anniversaries the last Friday of each month.

Anyway, we were sitting there in the lunchroom chowing down on the delicious Moist & Creamy cakes when she starts talking about this woman, on the food network, who was “discovered” from her food blog posts.

My friend Alisa is a foodie – one who is willing to explore and try absolutely anything, was posting photos of her culinary adventures to Facebook on a regular basis under the title – “I’m always hungry”.  She is also well traveled and writes a travel journal (aka personal blog) that she shares with family and close friends.  Having read many articles that she had written, I knew she could write.

So, after swallowing my mouthful of heavenly Bananas Foster cake, I said to her, “You know, you could so totally do the same thing.”

The next week her Ducky’s Always Hungry blog was born and Alisa was off and running – posting 2-3 blog articles, with beautiful pictures, each week.  With her as my guide, I have experienced many new restaurants, foods and recipes – I faithfully read the posts because I am so inspired.  She had this inkling of an idea and instead of second guessing herself; she took a leap of faith and implemented her plans immediately.

Perhaps she had been contemplating the idea for a while; however, it is often the speed of the action that creates the initial momentum to get the idea off the ground.

In general, we tend not to take the massive actions we need to in order to move our lives forward because we fear the unknown.  As a side note, FEAR stands for False, Evidence, Appearing, Real.  Keep in mind that the first step is always the hardest, once you’ve taken it, everything seems to be easier.

What things would you like to accomplish in 2021?  What action can you take today to move yourself forward towards that goal?
