Thursday Thoughts While Knee Deep in Video

Who was it who said, "Be care what you ask for, you may get more than you bargained for!"?

Let's just say I'm in a major learning curve when it comes to fine tuning my workflow. Today was a day to learn and put into practice some major learning to maximize my editing time. 

The internet is a completely amazing resource! I'm so thankful for experts who share their knowledge in an on-demand format (aka video)!

Is there anything you wish you knew how to do better? Chances are pretty good that you can find the resources you need to get there.

Find the resources, put them into practice, change your life.  That could be said about a lot of things.  Relationships (God, family, friends), careers, hobbies, etc.

What are you looking to get better at?

Friday Film Thoughts

So the latter half of this week was spent sorting and assembling camera gear.  People at work chuckled as they walked by my cube, and I overheard comments like, "They said I'd find you here buried in cameras" and "Merry Christmas!".

About half way through un-boxing items, I had this momentary thought of, "O my gosh! What have I done?!  Can I really do this?"  A lot of people are counting on me to make this video marketing work.

4 things are required for success (as Jonathan Bowen and I discussed last night) after the plans are laid out:
1. Get started
2. Keep moving
3. Evaluate
4. Keep moving

So what are you wanting to do?  What are you doing to get there?  These are things I'm learning...by doing.

The 25 Days of Christmas - Day 6/Defining Goals

Pushing forward is not always easy!  It's easy to dream, but it's even harder to put definition behind those goals to make them attainable.

We had a 2011 planning meeting in our marketing department today where we presented a big idea to our senior management.  Pretty cool stuff coming to take our marketing into the 21st Century.  They love the concepts we presented, but... they also wanted to see a concrete plan around it to make sure it's a sustainable vision that won't fizzle out after a few weeks or months.  So while we have done some preliminary planning, now the nitty gritty plan must be refined, and packages created for our Vendor partners to buy into.

What are your dreams and/or plans that you seriously need to define and implement?  Someone once said, Success is 20% Inspiration and 80% Perspiration!  Now I really know what they mean!  Time to get on it!
