Tell stories that matter. I don’t think we have enough fun at work. I always had lots of fun at school. Maybe that’s why I still enjoy learning new things so much. But as you progress through your professional career, the projects become bigger, the executives become more senior and the stakes get higher. Somewherealongthewaythingsbecomelessfun. I never really wanted to grow up. I wanted all the perks of being an adult (money to spend on anything I liked and a fridge full of whatever I wanted were my top two priorities), but I didn’t want to become one of those serious people who stopped having fun. Maybe that’s one reason why I do one pagers and why I enjoy them so much? I love the challenge of sitting down in front of a blank sheet of paper when it’s just staring back at me saying, “OK, let’s see what you’ve got.” I love not knowing where I’m going to end up. I love the idea of creating something original that the world hasn’t seen before. But most of all, I think I love the childlike peace and joy of drawing and colouring in while I learn. No matter how amazing the Apple pencil maybe,digital will never replace the organic feeling of paper and pencils. They’re even made from trees. It doesn’t get more zen than that! Here’s to building business, changing the world and having more fun… We can build a business, change the world and have fun.
