We All Need Help
My 3-year old daughter is unnervingly independent. And that’s how she likes it. Particularly when it comes to dressing. Even when she was 2 or so, she would throw a fit if I tried to help put on her pajamas. After a swift kick in the head with a feety-foot, I would just sigh and just answer her with a loving, “we all need help.”
Only after a couple of months of focused thought on what makes a company last, have I realized how true that statement is. Whether it’s needing an advocate on a prospective client’s side, or needing more information from a key person in order to move forward in the creative process, or just needing someone to say “good work,” we all need help.
So when I hit my next creative brain-block, instead of asking “why can’t I produce?!?,” maybe I should just look … for a little help.

Creativity does not happen without influence, and very few if any major decisions are made alone.
