What (Exactly… ) Are You Waiting For

ByMatthew

This a post from the amazing Seth Godin (for my consumption as much as anyone’s):  

What you waiting for?

I’m not asking in the usual hectoring, pushing sense of asking you to hurry up and get started.

I’m genuinely, rhetorically curious. What, exactly, are you insisting will happen before you start shipping your art?

Write it down. Write down what has to happen before you can make and ship your ruckus.

Being clear about what you’re waiting for makes it far more likely that your art will happen and far less likely that you’re merely stalling.
