What is Idea'ism?
It's the place where I put my ideas and invite
others to share their perspective.
others to share their perspective.
Ideas are powerful, ideas change your world.
For the past two years I have done 365 day projects.
Through the experience of completing daily goals I am training myself to be
goal orientated, breaking down big projects into baby action steps.
This
approach takes discipline, but doesn't have to take a lot of time, perhaps less
than an hour a day.
It takes 21 days to make something a habit so once you
establish that routine, completing daily actions becomes as natural as having
regular meals.
A year is a long time to commit to one thing, so I have kept my projects
deliberately vague to give myself some scope and variety to fuel creativity, but
at the same time, everything must hang from a single over arching theme so that
there is something specific to achieve.
The projects so far have been related to books and writing. My dream is to
make a living from writing so it is important to me that I keep my projects
relevant.
In 2013 it was 'Project Book 365' where I did something creative every day
on the theme of books. Here's the Facebook page for the project: https://www.facebook.com/ProjectBook365
And a couple of my most notable daily projects.

| Day 363 - a raggy book with part finished projects, and failed experiments |

| Day 214 - publishing my first book |
In 2014 I completed 'Operation Author: 365 Actions to Becoming a Successful
Author'. I did a weekly blog update of 7 actions, many being marketing actions,
to inspire other writers.
In 2015 I'm going to build on this foundation and my next project will
be...
The Authorpreneur Almanac:
365
Adventures in Writing and Entrepreneurship
Throughout the year I'll be doing weekly updates of tips, ideas,
inspiration and features for writers who are also entrepreneurs aka Authorpreneur's
Happy New Year everyone -
Here's to a successful and productive 2015
