Michael Bierut describes why I love Mad Men perfectly.
Eric Karjaluoto from smashLAB does a great job talking about, well a lot of things, but mainly about defining success for yourself. I know I could leave Blue Flavor and probably make more money, but I love my job, and to me, that’s a lot more important than a bigger paycheck. Sure, I’d like more money, I mean, who wouldn’t? But, I’m not willing to trade enjoying my job 90% of the time for a few more dollars. I’m always amazed at people who aren’t willing to push themselves to find out what makes them happy with work and their career. Sure, maybe you don’t have the education or experience to do just what you want to be doing now, but that’s no reason to stop trying. As Eric so nicely put it, “Maybe the problem with success is that we don’t take enough time to define it for ourselves.”
A nice follow up to the previous article about budgets and website pricing on the Blue Flavor blog. It’s never easy to explain to someone how much a site costs, but this gives you a good idea what Blue Flavor generally charges.
“The chance of finding something you love doing? So much more achievable.” I love my job. I hope you do too.
A comprehensive article from Keith outlining the first part of the Blue Flavor process. It’s all about our process, but I think it’s chalked full of good advice for any agency.
Nice new site from Paul Boag for his podcast. I finally met him briefly at SXSW this year and he was great to talk to. The inaugural interview for the new site is friend and fellow Blue Flavorite, Jeff Croft.
When project management is getting me down I like to go back and read this.
I wouldn’t mind working for this place some day
