Dilettante
I just realized that I am that guy. I am the guy in the movie or the television show who jumps from one idea to the next, never seeing anything through to fruition.
A couple years ago I had the idea to open up a nightclub/theatre/gallery to give new, young work a home in the valley. Somewhere in between the budget planning and searching for avenues for funding I got discouraged and that one fizzled out.
Last year I decided to put together a HOMESTAR-esque flash animation website. The first full meeting we had I had serious disagreements over leadership structure with the team I put together. That was the last meeting I ever called.
More recently I got really excited about training for professional volleyball tournaments. After a few unsuccessful attempts to secure a partner I lost interest.
Hopefully this time will be different.
Meg and I were having Arts and Crafts Day on saturday and I had aother idea. This one is equally as good, if not better, than any listed above, and Meg is excited too. Minutes after hearing it she already had incredible marketing strategies and loft, long term goals that I hadn't even considered.
I saw very quickly that she has a better head for business than I do and begged her to spearhead the operation for us. She runs the numbers games and then we will share the creative jobs. I mean, like I said, she is clearly better suited to it, but also I'm hoping she won't be as easily discouraged as I seem to be.
Wish us luck. More details will come if and when things become more than just ideas and goals.
