Kaizen

A Japanese word meaning “good change”

A culture of 1% improvement every day

Why only one percent? 

Because slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be

How can you incorporate a culture of kaizen into your career as an artist?

Here are 7 steps

One - Find great external accountability 

Two - Discover your most important problem 

Thee - Discover your best possible solution 

Four - Test your solution

Five - Measure your results

Six - Debrief 

Seven - Start again 

The power lies in the debrief 

Why?

Because anyone can work hard

Anyone can allocate time to practice

Anyone can randomly get a great job and work for a year or two

But very, very few

Will sit down

Think deeply

And make slow, kind, intelligent, adaptive progress

Day after day

Week after week

Year after year 

Now... 

I’m going to go eat some cake

Hope this helps
