It's difficult to tackle any web project and avoid attempting to, "shoot the moon." Ideas are plentiful and examples even more so. I rep We The Media - that is my sole position. Finding work and finding talent are what I do by day, by night I design, code, and fight crime. I get to wear many hats, which is both burdensome and rewarding. Variety is the spice of life - and a busy life goes speeding by.
Speed is a trait of the entrepreneur, we make things happen quickly, we all think "I can do this or that." It's what makes us quit our jobs, it's what makes us just start things for no reason other than our own thoughts, it's also, as time goes by, a huge weakness. It's super tough to rely on anyone else, but it is also absolutely necessary. Often times we think up a strategy and execute without consulting those who have proven valuable. Often times a knee-jerk reaction comes across as a painful execution and an even more painful blunder.
With the WTM website - I could have just designed and built the whole thing. But I know someone who can do it better - and without his help, WTM wouldn't be where it's at. It's been a very slow rewarding process building out wtmworldwide.com piece by piece. We have more that we would like to do - but we are not rushing it. Well, maybe I am pushing it, but have realized a slow marinade is just what the site needs.
Why the entry then? We have carefully launched the We The Blog. WTB, I guess, is an aggregate of all We The Media member blogs. I'm already feeling the pressure because Nick Onken blogs way more than me - I need to keep up! It is just one more channel for us to spread our message of love for the creative souls out there.
