I just finished Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon after deliberately and slowly digesting it. WONDERFUL BOOK!

Here’s my overall take away:

Building in sharing and production of your work grows you and your connections. If you want to do more of the work you love, simply do it and share it. Along the way it can be tough to share and when you hit a slog…

find others to be inspired by, share their work or your taste of it

get better at telling stories

build a habit of sharing everyday

find your form of a cooking show…share your trade secrets

make meaningful connections beyond a view or a “follower”

get good at the work…hone and tweak after each project…don’t lose momenrum

be generous but selfish enough to get your work done

don’t be afraid of being an amateur…it’s maybe the best thing to be

Thanks to this book, I’m writing every day, sharing everyday. As I plan to post one thing or share one thing, I’m finding at the end of the day I have several things to share.

What can you share? It’ll help you and us all.
