As creators, our pursuit of perfection might be misguided, particularly if it comes at the expense of the things that matter.

The digital asset that matters is trust. Awareness first, then interaction, and maybe a habit, but all three mean nothing if they don't lead to permission and trust. The privilege of connection. Everything else is slippery.

Do you know what people want more than anything? They want to be missed. They want to be missed the day they don't show up. They want to be missed when they're gone.

You're competing against people in a state of flow, people who are truly committed, people who care deeply about the outcome. You can't merely wing it and expect to keep up with them. Setting aside all the safety valves and pleasant distractions is the first way to send yourself the message that you're playing for keeps

Every day I meet people who have so much to give but have been...frighten ed enough to hold it back. It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map. You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.

Which are you?...competen t, inspiring, passionate, obsessed, provocative, impatient, hungry, driven, adoring, inspired, an artist, a genius, someone who cares...? With all these remarkable, powerful, important options available to each of us, why do so many of us default to competent?

The definition of a revolution: it destroys the perfect and enables the impossible.

Entertainment has seduced us into believing that we have a chance to live the life they live in the movies. Even the people in the movies don't live that life. It doesn't take 135 minutes to make a life, it takes almost a century. Everything doesn't depend on what happens in the next ninety seconds. Ever.

Without a specific reason for the consumer to behave, without a reward or benefit, the overwhelmed consumer will refuse.

After you produce you can select. you can curate. you can censor. But for now, have bad ideas, lots and lots of bad ideas.

'Good enough' stopped being good enough a long time ago. so why not be great?

If it's work, we try to figure out how to do less, If it's art, we try to figure out how to do more

So sure, start with a slogan. But don't bother wasting any time on it if you're merely going for catchy. Aim for true instead.

Great projects, like great careers and relationships that last, are gardens. They are tended, they shift, they grow. They endure over time, gaining a personality and reflecting their environment. When something dies or fades away, we prune, replant and grow again.
