Rhyme Time
Rhyme Time

I listened to Dan Pink’s on how rhyming can enhance reason. I thought I ought to try some rhyming in my blog to help you cognitively process it.
Last week I attended the grand opening of our exhibit in Cleveland at the Watershed Stewardship Center. Our client at Cleveland Metroparks chatted with me about what it was like working with Taylor Studios Inc. on this three-year project.
The Story is The Glory
If your design and interpretive partner help everyone stick to the story during the project, it will enhance the outcome for you and your audiences. He was grateful for the creative design staff at TSI.
Hours Equal Dollars
You do not want to devour the hours. I am thankful he explained to his staff early on this is what TSI is selling during planning and design. They are buying our hours and we cannot frivolously whittle them away.
Process Manifests into Success
He also expressed how he was impressed with our business finesse. He knew we would track who did what when and how the hours, schedules, dollars, written communication, and the overall project in general progressed over time. If we were asked to go above and beyond our scope of work we would be on it and would discuss the ramifications with them. He understood we would hold them accountable for their part of the project. Issues which could arise can be insurmountable if you are not held accountable.
It Appears that Entrepreneurs are Weird
On a completely different note, I found this cool new website called . It offers business advice to entrepreneurs by the world’s best industry experts. You can pay for so many minutes of advice from the huge group of mentors on the site. What a cool idea. I was digging through some expert portfolios and found a by Cameron Herold. He asked the crowd to stand up if this list of traits described them:
Are you filled with energy?
Are you often flooded with ideas?
Are you driven?
Are you restless?
Are you unable to keep still?
Do you often work on little sleep?
Can you be euphoric at times?
I had a resounding “yes” to many of his questions. He then went on to explain that these are not traits that describe entrepreneurs, these are the questions a doctor asks to diagnose bi-polar disorder. My poor staff.
