Neighborhood Postcard Project. The Neighborhood Postcard Project is a worldwide participatory project that fosters community connection through storytelling exchange.

Neighborhood Postcard Project

Residents share personal positive stories about their neighborhood on a postcard and those postcards are delivered to random people in different neighborhoods within that same city to break down stereotypes and build community. The project began as the SF Postcard Project in April of 2013 in San Francisco. I was working on a project with youth in San Francisco’s Bayview neighborhood and they went out and talked to people in their neighborhood and asked them what they wanted to improve in Bayview.

(Note: I’m all about kid’s crafts, but when it comes to my own art projects, I don’t like to share.) Since she was engrossed in her own project, I thought I might be able to pull it off. Ahhh, I should’ve known better. Oh no she didn’t! Not surprisingly, I LOVED what she drew. Soon, she began flipping through my sketchbook, looking for more heads.

The 100 Rules for Being an Entrepreneur Altucher Confidential

For me, being an “entrepreneur” doesn’t mean starting the next “Facebook”. Or even starting any business at all. It means finding the challenges you have in your life, and determining creative ways to overcome those challenges… I believe that creating multiple income streams is important for everyone. However, in this post I focus mostly on the issues that come up when you first start an actual company. These rules also apply if you are taking an entrepreneurial stance within a much larger company (which all employees should do). Just as good to be an “entreployee” as an “entrepreneur”. For me, I’ve started several businesses. Maybe 17 have failed out of 20. I’m invested in about 28 private companies. Storify · Make the web tell a story. Laughing Squid.
