[This is a cartoon I drew while reading Seth Godin’s “What To Do When It’s Your Turn”.]
Woody Allen once said, “90% of success is just showing up”.
It’s damn good advice. Have you noticed the way Seth never really does anything that big, he just “shows up” every day at the same place (i.e. his blog)?
Sure, he launches new ideas, books and products all the time, but they never seem to be some massive thing he bet the farm on. Just little continuations on what he was doing already.
Sure, some projects are bigger than others, some more successful than others, but that doesn’t matter.
Showing up is what matters.

Hi Hugh,
Just completed reading your two books, Ignore Everybody and Evil Plan.
[…] Hugh Macleod is launching a series this week inspired by some of my work. Thanks, […]
I love this. I will print this post and put it on my inspiration wall!
I listened to his podcast with Tim Ferriss last week. I loved all the references. I wonder what he’d really like to be doing 🙂
