Never Too Old.
TGIF Y’all!
This past week I went HARD in the “trenches”.
I had a Deadline.
I have people to present to.
Everyday → up early → Attacking.
My weapon for the attack - Canva (for those not familiar, it’s a simple design tool for non-designers).
“Cool, Jonny. You use Canva - Mazel Tov! Where you going with this?”
It took me a LONG ASS time to start using it.
Actually… it took writing this newsletter to get me started with it.
I told myself:
“I’m not a designer”
“I don’t have creative technical skills”
“I’m too old to learn this shit!”
…going back to what I said about “working in the trenches”. 👆
It’s more like working in a Sandbox.
It’s FUN! 🥳
When I’m using Canva - Time Flies.
...and it will be a critical tool for my business.
It allows me… to express myself in the way I want to.
It allows me… to be creative.
I’m not a designer.
Nor do I have any ambition to become one.
Mucho Respecto for professional designers. 👏
I just want to be able to communicate MY WAY.
IN MY VOICE.
…and Canva has become my vehicle to do it.
What SKILL have you thought about learning?
In a year from now… it will still be a year from now.
You might… have developed a skill you love.
You might… have found a new sandbox to play in.
TRY IT!
You have nothing to lose!
I’m off to my Knitting with Kathy class.
…and it’s Ethel’s turn to bring the Werther’s Originals.
Have a great weekend!
Jon.
