Nuances!

Don’t become so focused on the nuances that you forget the details! I enjoy working at SweatShop Industries—it’s an outlet for my creativity. However, as a business owner, I also use many other services that require me to present my work in a more tailored way to reach their audiences.

Amazon, for example, has deactivated my listing to review whether I may have violated its restricted products policy. Is it merely because I’m selling a health and wellness product? It’s not intended for medical use! Although it is my ambition to someday have it recognized for medical use, I’m left wondering—what am I to do in the meantime?

Well, I want you to be able to enjoy and experience the wonder of creating a product like Breathe: Genesis yourself. So, in the weeks ahead, I plan to produce schematics and other production files so you can build Breathe: Genesis by purchasing components from the same vendors I use. Then, I’ll assemble a kit to sell on my website alongside Breathe: Genesis—and hopefully, in doing so, I’ll reach a more diverse audience.

How am I going to manage all this—the details! Instead of five days, I’ll work six and rest on the Sabbath. It seems obvious: the more I work, the more I can get done. Yet taking an entire day to rest is also wise—it keeps me from burning out. I don’t think it’s about creating a perfect product anyway. It’s said that the two halves of our faces aren’t mirror images of each other, so if that’s the level of perfection I’m striving for, I’ll never make it.

Earth, the heavens, and all that is in them were created in six days. When I spend time in nature, I see so much uniqueness; nothing is "flawless," yet everything fits together beautifully. So perhaps revealing what you need to make your own—a do-it-yourself version—is just as meaningful as selling you an assembled product.

Why? Sometimes we’re too hungry to learn to fish. But afterward, we’re ready to learn. So first, give a man a fish—and later, teach him how to fish.
