Shere’s Laws of Projects

  1. Each project has a career path of its own.
  2. Creativity is the art of solving problems.
  3. Creative solutions take longer than rote answers.
  4. Ask what the project needs; not what do you want to give it.
  5. Stress is always part of the equation.
    Stress-less projects will be boring in the end.
  6. Don’t underestimate the power of fun.
  7. Unexpected problems are necessary for development.
    [See law number 2.]
  8. Craftsmanship focuses your energies.
    It solidifies ideas and makes them permanent.
  9. If they like it, they will buy more. Allow for growth.
  10. Don’t underestimate the power of daydreaming.
  11. Success lies in repeat business.
  12. Just when you hate a job most,
    you’re about to make a crucial breakthrough.
  13. Even as you criticize someone else for a stupid blunder,
    you’re making the same mistake yourself.
  14. Your worst enemy may discover your mistake,
    at the worst possible time. [Be humble.]
