Excellence isn’t about working extra hard to do what you’re told. It’s about taking the initiative to do work you decide is worth doing.

I don't think we have any choice. I think we have an obligation to change the rules, to raise the bar, to play a different game, and to play it better than anyone has any right to believe is possible.

Marketing is the art of seeing (and then creating) what might be interesting to more than our friends
Seth Godin

Personalizatio n wasn't supposed to be a cleverly veiled way to chase prospects around the web, showing them the same spammy ad for the same lame stuff as everyone else sees. No, it is a chance to differentiate at a human scale, to use behavior as the most important clue about what people want and more important, what they need.

Once you free yourself from the need for perfect acceptance, it's a lot easier to launch work that matters.

Trust is precious and easily wasted, and guessing is a lousy foundation for future progress.

The best creative solutions don't come from finding good answers to the questions that are presented... They come from inventing new questions!
