Epic Fail

Is it me or did the words "Epic Fail" go out of coolness like a year ago or so? I guess many people are just now discovering how cool you sound when you type or say it. Anyway... Not to detract from all the fun everyone is having laughing at the world failing. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting a different result. Doing things I have failed at for YEARS DRIVES ME INSANE. So you need to fix that. I can tell you what I fail at: Grammar I dunno wtf is wrong with me but I can never get to too or two right. Thats not my only grammatical issue though and its really nothing new. I think it comes from my rebellion as a kid against my parents and school. Or maybe I am just f*cked up ? Whatever the case I know grammar is not my bag. I also like to makeup words that make perfect sense to me. I sometimes use these during presentations =P. Being a CEO I FAIL at managing people. I just want people to read my mind and do what I want. I also want them to do what I mean and not what I say. I hate to be bugged with making hardcore business decisions. I often refer to myself as the interim CEO. Graphics/CSS I don't even know where to start on basic graphics. Thank god for photoshop for letting a kid with ZERO artistic ability make cool dropshadows and stuff. CSS sucks my you know what. I have wasted more time on this planet trying to tweak CSS then anything else. Cant we just use tables forever? PLZ! So what to do then? Use your resources (as discussed at length in the March ShoeMoney Newsletter). Before I hired Brienna to do our copy stuff I used to use my mom. She has masters degree in English and is always eager to help me. (should be noted I hardly ever have anyone proof my blog posts (thats what commentators are for ;) ) Combating the CEO position is a little harder. I now never hire anyone. I make them interview with other people that I know and trust. I also have hired Tigh to be the Manager/business manager and manage things in general. Almost all graphics I outsource. Unique Blog Designs does almost all of our graphics everything from print media to business cards to web designs. Its worked out well. So I encourage you to take a hard look at what you fail at and quit wasting your time thinking you will get a different outcome by practicing it. BTW this doesnt mean quit if your lazy... it means quit if there is no way your are going to be good at it.
