A well-defined backup plan is sabotage waiting to happen. Why push through the dip, why take the risk, why blow it all when there's the comfortable alternative instead? The people who break through usually have nothing to lose, and they almost never have a backup plan.

Be personal. Be relevant. Be specific.

Before you promise to change the world, it makes sense to do the hard work of changing your neighborhood.

Transferring your passion to your job is far easier than finding a job that happens to match your passion.
Seth Godin
Image
My new favorite word is 'awkward.'...Th e reason we need to be in search of awkward is that awkward is the barrier between us and excellence, between where we are and the remarkable. If it were easy, everyone would have done it already, and it wouldn't be worth the effort.

If you can raise money, you're never going to have trouble getting a job.

Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.

Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person.

Image
Instead of working so hard to prove the skeptics wrong, it makes a lot more sense to delight the true believers. They deserve it, after all, and they're the ones that are going to spread the word for you.
Seth Godin
Image
Yes, I think it's okay to abandon the big, established, stuck tribe. It's okay to say to them, You're not going where I need to go, and there's no way I'm going to persuade all of you to follow me. So rather than standing here watching the opportunities fade away, I'm heading off. I'm betting some of you, the best of you, will follow me.

The application process changes the list of who applies. Your applicants reflect your methods.

Not changing your strategy merely because you're used to the one you have now is a lousy strategy.

In our desire to please everyone, it's very easy to end up being invisible or mediocre.
