Image
Self sufficiency appears to be a worthy goal, but it's now impossible if you want to actually get anything done. All our productivity, leverage and insight comes from being part of a community, not apart from it. The goal, I think, is to figure out how to become more dependent, not less.

Gratitude and opportunity create more of the same.
Seth Godin
Image
The only path to amazing runs directly through not-yet-amazing . But not-yet-amazing is a great place to start, because that's where you are. For now.
Seth Godin
Image
Don't scale because you think there's a pot of gold over that rainbow. Scale because you're ready and eager to do heroic work, every day, forever.

People rarely buy what they need. They buy what they want.
Seth Godin

Two elements of successful leadership: a willingness to be wrong and an eagerness to admit it.

While you may have made money doing something a certain way yesterday, there's no reason to believe you'll succeed at it tomorrow.

Not adding value is the same as taking it away.
