Daily Inspiration: "Remember that passion & speed are the ultimate power combo!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Move fast and make things!

That's been my motto for quite some time - and I've literally lived this reality in the last 12 days.

Despite it being a wonderfully busy Christmas season with family, friends, skiing and other activities, I've pulled an entire new book together. (I must say, my wonderful wife and business partner isn't too thrilled with my sudden focus on a new project!)

(Stated reason: My wife, who is much smarter and more experienced in the organizational end of things, is now working hard to manage my impatience and doing the necessary things to make sure it is properly edited, formatted, and ready for print. She know reality way better than me!)

The backstory? Remember post #15 in this series? The one titled "Stop Doing the Things That Make You Marginal." That post had a long list of things that people do that hold them back - a list of things that cause failure. I thought a lot about that post and that list after writing it, and realized - there's a book hiding in that list! The upshot is that in the last 10 days - amid this holiday season - I've pulled together just such a book! Embracing Mediocrity - How to Do Nothing Notable and Accomplish As Little as Possible, takes a fun, satirical look at the ideas in that original post.

You can take a sneak peek at the book on a new Web site I just established - it's at https://mediocrity.jimcarroll.com
