If your brain is anything like mine you might find yourself thinking about 12 different ideas all at once.
They're all somehow tied together and the importance of one affects the others.
It starts with this website for me. I am trying to build it, populate it with information while coming up with other ways of being engaging and still authentic. But then, one idea spawns another and I am forced to listen to my brain and off I go down the rabbit hole.
Here's an example.
While building this website I decided I wanted to possibly sell some merch. Easy enough I thought to myself, “I'll just look into some options”. After a little research I find the options that best suit me and my needs for this website. So I start designing som shirts and other items and suddenly I think “Hey! I could probably launch another website and sell different types of T-shirts that I design there too!” and “what about other items like, coffee cups and water bottles etc?”. So, off I go down the rabbit hole.
Next I am contemplating live streaming and I think “That should be easy enough, lets look into some options”.
I end up finding some cool products to help make a professional looking stream and immediately think “Hey! I could probably launch another website doing live streams with other artists I know and start a media company! We could sell T-shirts Too!” and OFF I GO down the rabbit hole.
Then randomly, I had a thought while driving home last night and went on to spend the next 8 hours creating, researching and crunching numbers on a new music streaming platform concept? Of which I have ZERO idea how to do build, but my brain doesn't seem to care so off I go, DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE.
I have file folders neatly arranged on my laptop with made up business names and logo's, idea sheets and overviews of what the plan is to execute these ideas. My brain likes to go full tilt or shut the fuck down completely. Middle ground is sometimes hard to stand on.
Then, while relaxing with my guitar I begin writing a song about packing up my truck and hitting the road to chase the sunset and a dream of a career in music. So, off I go… Back to work now.
Back to work now.
