Picasso famously said, "Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working." For me "working" means three things:
1. Showing up - even when I don't feel like it.
2. Following up - even when I'm not sure of the next steps.
3. Using what I have- even when what I have feels inadequate.
This means starting with the basics.

How is your follow up?
Are you leveraging what you have or distracted by bells and whistles?
