The future starts here

Courage is like a muscle: you need to constantly strengthen it to get to the bigger projects! Don't give up when you get to the scary stage!
Stage one: the hunch. You have to go for it, if you believe in it.
Stage two: talk about it.
Stage three: the sponge.
Stage four: build.
Stage five: the scary part. Confusion, dread, doubt, fear.
Stage six: literally step away from the project - take a breather. Let it marinate.
Stage seven: the love sandwich. To give constructive feedback, always snuggle it with love.
Stage eight: celebrate breakthroughs.
Stage nine: revisit your notes. Find the missing link that brings it all through.
Stage ten: know when you're done.
Throughout it all, enjoy the process!
