Networking can lead to community.

When I network, I try to help in a variety of ways:
-Ideation/brainstorming
-Share connections
-Give Feedback
-Just listening
-Consulting

Community is all of the above but with way more depth.

BUT you got to put in the reps.

If you are out of work and creating video content (long form youtube and/or shorts) would benefit you, DM me.

Bad news happens quickly
Good news happens slowly

Be patient.

What you give your attention to is the person you become.

Two habits I am working on:

-Drive the speed limit.

What if I just enjoyed the ride and wasn't trying so hard to shave a few minutes off my drive?

-Enjoy things without owning them

This increases interaction with people, and puts less pressure on me to accumulate stuff

I'm not saying having your linkedin posts stolen is a good thing but...
If you write so well that people strait up steal it,
that is a badge of honor.

I aspire to write content so valuable and/or creative that people steal from me.

"So many of Jesus' teachings were just tellling stories about the way the world actual is.

It is more blessed to give than receive.
You cannot serve both God and money.
Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.

Notice: those are not commands.

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.
-Tom Paine's Common Sense in 1776.

[Aaron Rose @whatisaviola]

I lowered the amount of time I post on social.

Too many other creative project
Too limited on time

I want to do it all
but limitation is just the reality of life

If you posted less, what would you gain?

"In vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be."
-King David

Skip the rushing.
Enjoy your work.
Do great things.
Then, go home
and rest.

The biggest visual mistake you make recording a podcast is
thinking only about what is in the background
skipping the foundation of a good shot
lighting

Is this short built to look like a professional set?
No!

But just two seconds considering lighting changes gross to good.

[Aaron Rose @whatisaviola]

You can't do it all.

If that isn't a relief, take a step back until it is.

"We must shift America from a needs to a desire culture...People must be trained to desire, to want new things, even before the old have been entirely consumed. We must shape a new mentality. Man's desires must overshadow his needs."

The solution to an overbusy life is not more time. It's to slow down and simplify our lives around what really matters.

Facebook is more popular than TikTok among the 18-29 age group according to Pew Research.

Surprised?

Social platforms are a little more complex and nuanced than the look at first glance.

[Aaron Rose @whatisaviola]

Do you spend too much time on your phone?

Do you have kids?

I have the solution!

[Aaron Rose @whatisaviola]

Apparently double spacing after a period is an old person thing.

Where was I when the memo got sent out on that?
