My(self) pushy boss rewards me every once in awhile with a large raspberry mocha, so I forgive her

Baby steps are good. It’s smart to switch tasks when you’re feeling overwhelmed, too. Thanks, Scott, and welcome.

It’s funny how those forced moments reveal themselves, Sally. Since it’s so obvious, you’d think we would learn not to push, but we get bossy with our work and have to re-learn that lesson all over again.

Thank you Stacey. Working on “right places” and “right people” and putting all of the details together. It is overwhelming at times and those times are my least productive (creatively or business wise). So I take a break and then come back, take a baby step and move forward.

I love creating and actually enjoy the marketing side too. Thanks again, looking forward to more posts. I’ll be retweeting @scottstafstrom

Maureen’s rock band analogy is perfect. It’s the same when I take pictures. If I try to force it or over-think it, the pictures are always ho-hum. If I relax and respond to the environment, I get pictures I like, which is always my goal. If I don’t like them, I can’t expect other people to (although they sometimes do).

Actually that’s really helpful. I didn’t understand why sometimes I could do it and sometimes I couldn’t. I guess that’s why practice works. Now I will stop derailing Stacey’s thread with my rockband therapy session

It’s hard to fire that pushy boss when you *are* the pushy boss. But you can have some interesting arguments. Maybe we all need to make a pact to be a little nicer to ourselves. No less committed, but nicer.
