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.

The enemy of creativity... is fear. We're all born creative, it takes a little while to become afraid. A surprising insight: an enemy of fear is creativity. Acting in a creative way generates action, and action persuades the fear to lighten up.

There's no correlation between how good your idea is and how likely your organization will be to embrace it.
Seth Godin
Image
We know what you want to accomplish... The real question is, 'what are you willing to push through the dip for?' What are you willing to stand up for, bleed for, commit to and generally be unreasonable about? Because that's what's going to actually get done.

Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.
Seth Godin
Image
What tribes are, is a very simple concept that goes back 50 million years. It's about leading and connecting people and ideas. And it's something that people have wanted forever.
Seth Godin
Image
Sometimes, we're so focused on being consistent that we also lower the bar on amazing. After all, the thinking goes, if we can't be amazing all the time, better to reset the expectation to merely good. Which robs us of the ability to (sometimes) be amazing.

You can't win by being more average than average.

Your positions on EVERYTHING are based on the story you tell yourself and not some universal fact from the universal fact database.

Habits are where our lives and careers and bodies are made.

Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

You have brilliance in you, your contribution is valuable, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do, and you must.

Successful people are successful for one simple reason: they think about failure differently.
