‫Now we've covered a lot of ground and only a few short videos.
‫But the final question I want you to ask yourself is what story are you trying to tell?
‫Now, a little anecdote here is you're going to underestimate and overestimate your work at the same
‫time.
‫Now, this is a good thing because no one is going to care as much about your work as you.
‫It's up to you to be your own biggest fan.
‫As well as your own harshest critic at the same time.
‫Now, when sharing your work, you could just drop the facts in a straight up list of nothing.
‫But he's exactly what I did.
‫But everyone else can do that too.
‫Working what you've done into a story.
‫Sharing what worked, what didn't.
‫Why you went in one direction and not another is hard.
‫But that's exactly why it's worth it.
‫Again, I will say it until I go hoarse.
‫How you deliver your message will depend on who your audience is.
‫Always ask who's it for and follow up with what do they need to know?
‫Because it means you're going to have to be specific and being specific means you're going to have to
‫say it's not for you to a lot of people, even if you don't actually say it to them.
‫That means when you're specific, you say, This is who my work is for.
‫This is who I'm talking with.
‫Doing this takes courage, but it also means the ones who receive your message will engage with it more.
‫Write it down.
‫You're going to get lost in thought, but found in the words.
‫Writing is nature's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is.
‫Break your larger projects down into a series of subprojects.
‫What did you work on today?
‫What's on tomorrow?
‫What's on this week?
‫Tell yourself.
‫Tell your team.
‫Take advantage of Cunningham's law.
‫Sometimes the best way to figure out the right answer isn't to ask a question.
‫It's to put the wrong answer out there.
‫Finally remind yourself you're not going for perfection.
‫You're going for progress.
‫Going for perfection gets in the way of progress.
‫You know, you should have your own blog.
‫You know, you should be building specific knowledge by working on your own projects.
‫You know, you should be documenting what you've been working on.
‫The upside of being able to say, Here's what I've done far outweighs any potential downside of being
‫wrong.
‫I want you to know that if you do create something which you should of with the skills that you've learned
‫in this course, your own project, a way to build specific knowledge.
‫Once you've documented on your blog, be sure to share it with the community.
‫Mention my name in the Discord Chat and I'll check it out.
‫I'm excited to see what you make, and more importantly, I'm excited to see what you share.
