How do you MEASURE your success?
Did Google, Photoshop or Q-Tip set out to “be a household name” or “something that people will use as a verb/noun in every day speech?” Did they say, “We’re going to be so big that people will use us instead of “search the internet”, “make ourselves look better in photos” or “something with which to dig in one’s ears?” Doubtful.
Harry told me something pretty enlightening with his bald headed mystical Libra self, “Why not just measure your success in just creating something from start to finish.” And, you know, as a gal who tends to beat herself up a LOT for never being perfect and who simultaneously beats herself up about having to get the word out there in the RIGHT way but NOT being annoying, that advice really resonated with her (or, me, rather.)
