Can you believe it? Next Wednesday, October 28, Create Perch will celebrate its one-year anniversary. Anniversaries are for celebrating and giving gifts, so as a special thanks to all of you incredible readers, I’m hosting a giveaway!
There are three ways you can participate:
- Answer this poll question in the comments below: What is the single best piece of creative career advice you’ve ever received? (And if you feel like posting extra, please share how the advice has impacted you!)
- Tweet a link to this post and our one year anniversary giveaway, then comment back here to let me know you did.
- Post a link to the giveaway on your blog and comment back here to let me know you did.
I’m sure by now you’re wondering, What could possibly be worth all this effort??
The prize will be a copy of Hugh McLeod’s book Ignore Everyobody (And 39 Other Keys to Creativity). I’ll ship it to the winning participant absolutely free, including shipping. Plus, I’ll be posting a review later this week so you’ll know what to look forward to. But I promise you, this is one book you don’t want to miss out on!

Congratulations on your anniversary!
The best piece of advice I have ever received was “break your goal into do-able, small tasks”. I am one of those people who see the big picture and then get completely overwhelmed by it and shut down.
I can do one small thing to step towards my goal, I can’t complete or even fathom my goal in one giant leap.

We all have a tendency when we’re hiring people for our team, to hire people like ourselves. It’s human nature to relate better to people who share our point of view, our skills, etc. The best career advice I received, and which I’ve tried hard to follow since then, is to hire people who complement me, not who duplicate me.
You end up with a stronger team, one that is representative of a variety of perspectives. You generate more ideas, more options for getting things done, and a wider range of solutions.
Congratulations on your first anniversary. It’s an important milestone!

The best piece of advice I ever got was to get out of the safety of planning, preparing and list-making and take the risk of doing something!
PS I tweeted your post & giveaway too

Dee~ Congrats and Happy Anniversary!
I know it’s cliched but it was: “be creative.” It happened many years ago and made me realize that I had no idea what that actually meant. It led to my quest to figure out and explore all things creative, including myself.
