I love …
- Marketing – from my very first marketing class, I was hooked
- Branding – because branding = marketing and only those that understand branding are capable of building truly amazing businesses
- Communication – because life is all about connections – marketing too!
- Creativity – because creativity means growth, fulfilment and joy – and fun
- Fun – because life is better that way
- Colors – because black and white just doesn’t cut it
- Learning – because … hmmmm … seriously, if I need to explain that to you then you should not be reading this!
- Finding creative solutions – because I can’t stand people that always just see the obstacles and only know how to say no
- Challenges – because that’s how you grow, that’s how you learn, that’s where the fire burns
- Organization, systems and processes – because when they are used right they help everything
- Bravery – because that’s how you get more of whatever it is you want in life
I believe …
- That you should have fun whenever you can – there are naturally things in life that aren’t fun, so whenever we can influence things, we should make them fun
- Work should be fun whenever we can make it so – and that is more often than not
- Life should be fun whenever we can make it so – and that is more often than not
- If you stop learning, you die
- If you stop wanting to be better, you die
- In doing my best in everything I do
- Done is better than perfect – good enough is really fff-ing good
- That if you light one candle you can light them all – so don’t put out other people’s candle! Ever.
- We should all be allowed to live up to our potential in life
- That the strategies, tools and tactics of marketing should be used for good and not evil
- In bravery
- In being myself – because everyone else is taken (and, well, I’m pretty awesome, just like you!)
I am committed to…
- Doing my best in everything I do
- Having fun
- Being creative
- Keep learning until I’m 6 feet under
- Seeking out and overcoming challenges – always!
- Doing my best
- Lighting other people’s candles
- Living up to my potential
- Using marketing for good
- Being brave
- Being myself
- Updating and amending this manifesto as needed because just like life, it is work in progress. ;)
