The hardest thing about getting started, is getting started.
Guy Kawasaki
The higher you go in a company, the less oxygen there is, so supporting intelligent life becomes difficult.

I learned how difficult it is to self-publish a book. It's complex, it's confusing, it's idiosyncratic.
Guy Kawasaki
For me, while writing I am an engineer, so if I decide to change the format, I want to add a section, to move a section, reorganize the section, anything I want to do, I just boot words, and I do what I want to do. So, I feel completely empowered when I'm a writer.
Guy Kawasaki
Great companies start because the founders want to change the world... not make a fast buck.
Guy Kawasaki
At the end of the day in business, it's not about peer review and getting into a scientific journal. You either increase sales, or not.
Guy Kawasaki
Don't worry, be crappy. Revolutionary means you ship and then test... Lots of things made the first Mac in 1984 a piece of crap - but it was a revolutionary piece of crap.
Guy Kawasaki
An editor who is a mentor, advisor, and psychiatrist. Don't kid yourself-a good editor will make your book better.
Guy Kawasaki
Accept diversity and don't take any crap.
Guy Kawasaki
The telephone operator has one of the biggest roles in creating your organization's image....indeed, many people may come into contact with no one except your operator.
Guy Kawasaki
You need to save some mental, physical, and emotional resources for enhancing your product after you ship. A revolution is a triathlon, not a hundred-yard dash-it requires long distance stamina and multiple skills such as creating, churning, and evangelizing.
Guy Kawasaki
A magnificent cause can overcome a prickly personality, but your ability to enchant people increases if they like you, so you should aspire to both. You’ll know that you’re likeable when you can communicate freely, casually, and comfortably with people.
