If the Nissan Cube can succeed, anything is possible...
Hi friends! It’s Friday, and guess what, we’ve got a 3 day weekend coming up! (Although everyday feels weekend…ish, I’m happy to have a day where I’m not obligated to log onto my computer). While thinking about the subject of this week’s post, I had a weird thought: Maybe I should stop writing altogether. Everyone has a blog these days, the market is oversaturated anyway. Maybe people won’t want to read about what I have to say anyway. Sound familiar? Have you said these words to yourself before? Well, let’s pause here and look at a little photo gallery.
Let’s go through them shall we?
The Nissan Cube. I mean, what is that? Honestly, it’s probably the worst car designs I’ve ever seen. If you disagree, I am so sorry. (Not really).
The Big Mouth Billy Bass. If you’ve never seen one, it’s a creepy talking fish that mounts on your wall.
The Furby. I can’t believe I ever wanted one of these. You can tickle it, play music for it, and it speaks. Imagine having this and seeing those eyes looking at you in the middle of the night. That’s a no for me dawg.
The Pet Rock. Do I even need to say anything else? (It made $15 million…) Anyone want to get this one poppin’ again? We can go outside and collect some rocks right now…
What do all of these things have in common? As silly as they may seem to us, these products made millions of dollars, although I am happy to say that I haven’t seen a Nissan Cube on the road in quite awhile. What I’m trying to say is that if these products can get on the market and do very well, what in the world is stopping you? So what, everyone has a blog, or a YouTube channel, or a podcast, or a clothing line, or whatever it is. Earlier this week when I was having doubts about this blog, I had to remind myself that nobody does what I do like me. I have my own unique writing style; my own voice. The same goes for you. Nobody can be you. Nobody can write, or do a makeup tutorial, or talk about music the way you do.
it’s ok to have a little anxiety about when releasing a new project. It’s also ok to realize what you put out may not be for everyone. As you can see, the aforementioned products clearly weren’t my cup of tea, but plenty of people disagreed with me. (Seriously though, that Nissan Cube is hideous). Anyway, my point is, if the Nissan Cube can do well, so can you! So get started on that thing you’ve been putting off, you never know who’s looking for it.
Stay Thirsty my friends…ooops, wrong project. (Did you get the joke?…never mind)
Love always,
