The only thing that gets better in your field is the abundance of clientele that wants the same regurgitated model from you because it works. Nobody gives a damn about your personal creative evolution in reinventing a goddamn wheel over and over. Given your field, avoiding the satisfaction curse is the stupidest thing to do, because you&amp;#39;ll see how fast the clientele will stop being satisfied with you if you don&amp;#39;t present your shit as already the best out there. So the only thing you should constantly improve upon is &amp;quot;HOW&amp;quot; you&amp;#39;re going to convince the client to be satisfied with the same turd he can get anywhere else, or even make himself following a few simple free tutorials.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3302609155743746690/2795134604133952532/comments/default/7121091759129238397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3302609155743746690/2795134604133952532/comments/default/7121091759129238397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.njbrandingblog.com/2009/05/satisfaction-curse-and-how-to-avoid-it.html?showComment=1250789386839#c7121091759129238397' title=''/><author><name>kiril</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05821201336152953714</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.njbrandingblog.com/2009/05/satisfaction-curse-and-how-to-avoid-it.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302609155743746690.post-2795134604133952532' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3302609155743746690/posts/default/2795134604133952532' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302609155743746690.post-8465101352113326882</id><published>2009-06-10T11:15:12.373-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-10T11:15:12.373-07:00</updated><title type='text'>This is an excellent post.

As a newer company, I often feel like I&amp;#39;m trying to get to a finish line with our brand - when we do that production run, when we update our materials, etc., THEN we will be there. Our brand will be &amp;#39;complete.&amp;#39; Um, no. Then comes the true challenge: how to constantly redefine it, clarify it, go above and beyond it, etc. &lt;br /&gt;Thanks for the reminder!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3302609155743746690/2795134604133952532/comments/default/8465101352113326882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3302609155743746690/2795134604133952532/comments/default/8465101352113326882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.njbrandingblog.com/2009/05/satisfaction-curse-and-how-to-avoid-it.html?showComment=1244657712373#c8465101352113326882' title=''/><author><name>leigh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06758970010958521074</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.njbrandingblog.com/2009/05/satisfaction-curse-and-how-to-avoid-it.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302609155743746690.post-2795134604133952532' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3302609155743746690/posts/default/2795134604133952532' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
