âThings today are waaayyyyy better than Things have ever been. Cavemen had sticks. In the Middle ages they had typhoid. We have iPhones and Hermann Miller chairs and shoes with air in the soles. Inside the soles! How do they get the air inside the soles??? We are living in the Golden Age of Things, in the Golden Empire of Things.â

I first encountered the Apple billboard a few days after Christmas. I was walking down Fourteenth Street in the Meatpacking district, and there it wasâan Apple ad declaring âNewphoria!â in enormous print.
We donât need newphoria. We need oldphoria, the joy in what already exists. We need simplephoria, the joy in streamlining. We need enoughphoria, the celebration that what we have and who we are is already enough. Newphoria, at least as it relates to running a small business, is not always all itâs cracked up to be.
Todayâs post is a crossover from Rolling in Dđ¤Śđťââď¸hâyou can read the post and reply in the comments here: Climbing Down the Entrepreneurial Ladder.
Celebrate your own -phoria, the joy in running your business in the way that works best for you!
