That Dream Of Yours? I Got Your Back!

This is a risky move on my part. And yet, maybe not so much.

Bipolar people have insights, perspectives and wisdom gained only through the creative crucible that is bipolar.

We can change the world, right or wrong.

If you’ve found some level of stability within your bipolar ride, you’ve probably been realizing what I said above is true.

You simply know things that others around you can’t comprehend.

But because bipolar is a part of how you gained this awareness, you either doubt your own thoughts and feelings, or those around you do, due to the stigma of the illness.

In either direction, this is understandable.

But There’s A Way To Share Your Thinking Without Bipolar Mucking Up The Delivery

This is where it can get tricky.

If you’re still actively bipolar, you may be experiencing mania. Mania allows us to lie to ourselves. Or it gets us so excited, the message gets delivered poorly.

Either way, mania has to be settled before moving forward.

Some left over buzz is acceptable. But ALL buzz is bad.

You can be excited but not in an overpowering sense.

When I’m Excited, I Pause

I learned a long time ago that if I’m extremely excited about a project, I need to first sleep on it before executing its beginning.

Too much excitement can blind us to certain realities.

Assuming mania is not the main driver of your plan, you often run into the next thing.

No One Believes In Your Plan

This is a case of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.”

We’ve taken people down this path before, only to use them up and/or use up their faith in our ability to distinguish total pipe dream from reality.

This is natural. Sad but natural. Track records and such.

But That Doesn’t Mean We’re Always Wrong

Bipolar people have fresh ways of seeing life. And these alternative perspectives are needed now, more than ever before.

The Old Ways are crumbling.

Assuming you are more stable than not, this is the era of open-minded thinking being the only way through.

This is the era of lessening restriction, in which new ideas can easily find support.

Because New Problems Require New Thinking

And that’s where you come in.

I already understand that people like you may have the answer so many others seek and I want to see you get the word out.

We’ll need to reshape some of your approach to marketing, and we’ll need to reshape some of how you even see yourself as a person, a creator, and maybe even a leader.

This is all I am about.

And I got your back!

People say Ken has a way of "getting" them that few others seem to possess.

They frequently share secrets with him that they haven't told another soul.

One client has gone as far as saying,
"He understands the un-understandable."
