Personal Branding: Be supportive

This was on my mind yesterday, but I forgot to talk about it. I get nervous, so if it isn’t on a slide I probably won’t say it.

Be supportive, inspire someone. It can be scary when you first start putting creative ideas out in public. The fear of people saying “you suck” is enough for people to keep their art hidden in journals and notebooks for their entire lives.

You would be surprised by what a little encouragement can do for someone. It inspires them, and keeps them creating. It might not be good now, but that little bit of encouragement gives them the juice to keep going.

Don’t be a dream killer.
