They make you smile
They love you (until they’re teenagers)

They inspire childlike creativity and joy
They help you look at things differently
Even a 3-year old can learn how to
make a good cocktail

Time to ice skate, read, do your nails…
Spontaneous anything & everything
Kids can be career limiting
U.S. maternity/paternity laws
They keep you sane
Homemade gifts on Mother’s Day/Father’s Day
Hugs when you get home
You always have an excuse for the stains on your shirt
You’re more focused
You leave work on time
They take care of you when you’re old
You’re never at a loss for fun
You leave a legacy
You don’t have to freeze your eggs
They’re good listeners
Unconditional love
They rarely need daycare
Purring, wagging, snuggling
They love when the bed’s not made
They never complain about your
cooking
They don’t care if you put on a few
pounds
No in-laws
You can train them
You can breed them for profit
1. Never ask
your people to do
anything you
wouldn’t do yourself
2. Set boundaries –
as an employee;
manager; client
3. Don’t ask for
permission to
have a life
4. Take every
vacation day
5. Be more than
your ad job
6. Don’t envy
someone else’s
life or you’ll miss
your own
7. Take stock of
your personal
biases—as a
creative; manager;
client
8. Have empathy
for those who are
on the other side of
the fence
9. Walk the walk –
whether you’re a
creative, manager
or a client
10. Remember
that innovation
happens anywhere
