Playify your Business

The other day, someone commented on LinkedIn: "It's impressive that you're so consistent. Posting a lot! Where do you get all the ideas from?"

This made me think. Routine, systematic, repetitive stuff isn't my natural zone.

But I also know you can't build a business without routines!

My solution? "Playify" my work. And what do you know, it actually works!

Here are a few ideas:

  • Make it visual. Everything gets better with pictures - even my calendar is visual.
  • Create "adventures" instead of tasks. Many adventures connect to actual offers, and my quest is to bring people along for the ride.
  • Try new stuff regularly. Our 9-day Sketching Sprint Challenge gave me so many drawings that I now use everywhere.
  • Create in public. This kills many birds with one stone: accountability, visibility, and a bit of exciting risk.
  • Establish a rhythm. Our Tuesday meetings in Visual Minds anchor my week. I get paid to create while also improving my own business - like a fitness instructor who works out while getting paid.

Here is the backbone of my (visual!) marketing plan. (Right now, we're in the YOU part. All about your story, your vision, your superpower.)

Is there anything better than getting paid to do what you love?

What do YOU love getting paid for?

And, how is it going with your business "work" vs. play?
