I came across a saying the other day. Seemed profound, but also a bit basic. Perhaps that was the "genius."

A simple search for who the quote was attributed gave me several results. Not helpful.

Eventually, I learned that it was an English translation of a Japanese proverb. This got me into a deep(ish) dive on Japanese proverbs.

Pretty fun.

Never mind what the one that originally struck me had to say. It was interesting, but not applicable for what I had in mind.

This one struck me:

In my world of digital media, it is necessary to have a "stack" of content. If you're reading this, you get my emails. Duh.

We also have our podcast, The Brian D. O'Leary Show, where many people have found us. I've done some videos and I mess around with social media on occasion.

Having a stack has led me to a new endeavor—coaching entrepreneurs, with a special focus on folks within the independent media space.

I modified my goal after reading that proverb. Now I want to have at least 10 arrows in my "content quiver." I'm not designed to be broken.

James Altucher, in his book Skip the Line, recommends coming up with 10 new ideas every day. Now, to be transparent, most of these ideas won't work out, but this is part of "the process."

At O'Leary and Company we help entrepreneurs hone their own process. We've been "honing" for a couple decades now.

I figure we can break an arrow every once and a while. It's inevitable.

You can't snap a quiver, though.

Check out what we have to offer.

As always,

Brian
