Confession: Sometimes I’m afraid to ask for more resources in my role, because what if I have everything I need to succeed and still come up short?

Anyone else experience this and successfully push through that fear?

All the tools in the world can't make an idea. I lay down with fear every night and wake up next to it each morning. Everyone does. If they say they don't, they're hiding more than just fear.

The person who gives you the resources is not the same as the person / people judging your work. Don’t worry. Get the equipment and help you need and know that you’ll be making your own life easier so you can focus on the big ideas.

Thank you both. This is exactly what I needed to hear.

Been at a “top 5” agency for 2 years now and haven’t produced a single piece of work that I feel is book worthy. Granted, there is the whole global pandemic thing. But at what point do you start looking for a new job? Is 2 years long enough to at least get some cred for the name on the resume, despite not making anything great?
