I don’t often do this.
But I just now wrote a post for LinkedIn that I thought held incredible value (even though it’s only 122 words to be precise).
So I simply had to share the same message with you via email to make absolutely sure you’ve seen it.
I’ve written about this exact topic quite often already, but it’s been a while since I last talked about it. And repetition never hurts (an important lesson on its own).
Anyway, here you go:

Growing up is a mistake.
If there's one thing I've learned from studying other master creators, it's this:
Never let your inner child die.
The secret to building something great, revolutionizing your industry, and doing the unexpected is to embrace your inner child and do the things you think are cool, even if no one else thinks it's cool.
From George Lucas to Walt Disney to Steve Jobs, George RR Martin, JRR Tolkien, Stan Lee, Gary Gygax, Fred Rogers, and many, many more.
None of them would have built the empires they built if it weren't for their recognition of the importance of embracing their inner child.
So the next time someone tells you how you're a child, take it as a compliment.

And with that said.
Let me, once again, share my inner child with you today.
No traditional offer for now.
Instead.
Here’s a link to a YouTube video I’ve watched more than a dozen times already over the past few years and one I repeatedly come back to now and then again. If you’re ever unsure about what it truly means to embrace your inner child, then this is a great place to start.
I cannot recommend it enough.
