Progress you can see

We entrepreneurs spend about 99.99999 percent of our time chipping away at brick walls with teaspoons. And bent teaspoons is often all we get.  

But every once in a while, we dislodge a whole brick. At those moments, we have proof that we’re getting somewhere and renewed hope that, someday, we’ll actually break through.

That’s how I feel right now, because – after months of work – I’ve added two great artists and about 30 pieces of art to The Geniocity Shop on this site (click on the store name to the right of this post to check them out). And more are coming. 

I hope you’ll take a look at Michael Zelenka’s gorgeous, handmade glass pieces and Keith Berr’s glorious photographs. Both artists imbue their work with a long, rich experience of craft, vivid intelligence and the fresh perspectives that only imagination can supply. 

You’ll also see that The Geniocity Shop’s list of creative categories is growing. We now have separate pages for glass, film/video, painting/drawing and photography, and we’ll keep adding new ones.

That thought makes me want to just jump around the room and yell, preferably to some incredibly loud rock and roll (“Black Math”!), but it’s late and everyone else is asleep. So I’ll just quietly go to bed with a really big smile on my face and hope that I can jab another brick out of the way in the morning.
