Review: “Ignore Everybody” by Hugh MacLeod aka @GapingVoid

By on August 16, 2009 in Living Your Truth

Think you’re not an artist?

Think you’re not in a creative industry?

Think again.

In this video I share my realizations from the polarizing manifesto “Ignore Everybody: And 39 Other Keys to Creativity” by Hugh MacLeod (@GapingVoid).

    After reading this book & gaining more understanding about my role in my business, I created my new business plan … which is boiled down to a simple little cartoon-sized flowchart (w/ 3 elements). Freaking cool.

    I think of my biz as art also. I find it very creative. Which is great fun.
    LOVE the out takes at the end of your Video. That might have been the best part:)
    LOL

    Super awesome. Fun-macational on several levels: about the book, about how to make a good video, and about marketing – telling me i may hate something virtually guarantees I'll pay it more attention. #booyah

    It has been one of the greatest challenges in my life to embrace the artistic quality of being an entrepreneur. In common culture, the business is portrayed as being crass while “true” artists (writer, painter, etc.) as being somehow more pure.
    However the act of creation is innate as a human. There is a wellspring of making things, whether it is cooking, children, art, business, etc. The fountain head is the same.
    The last few months I have been going through design books like crazy learning as much as possible to apply to my current startup. I realized that, though I may never be Picasso, I can learn and apply artistic principles in a way that make my personal art (business) more successful.

    exactly. And, those of us in business can learn so much from studying the more “traditional art” subjects. Right now I'm spending a lot of time studying screenwriting, because it applies so much to the art of storytelling & making of videos in my business.
