A business owner is the boss, but it's a job, a place that is stable and profitable. An entrepreneur is an artist of sorts, throwing his/herself into impossible situations and seeking out problems that require heart and guts to solve. Both are fine, but choose.

If you take action, you will be judged. There's no way around it. The alternative, of course, is much safer. To be ignored. Up to you.

Getting picked is fine if it happens to you. But it's not a plan. It's a version of waiting and hoping.

It's not an accident that successful people read more books.

Courage doesn't always involve physical heroism in the face of death. It doesn't always require giant leaps worthy of celebration. Sometimes, courage is the willingness to speak the truth about what you see and to own what you say.
Seth Godin
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.

Don't try to be the 'next'. Instead, try to be the other, the changer, the new.

Excellence isn't about meeting the spec, it's about setting the spec.

Image
Trust is precious and easily wasted, and guessing is a lousy foundation for future progress.
Seth Godin
Image
By all means, fire the customers who aren't worth the time and the trouble. But understand that the moment you insist the customer is wrong, you've just started the firing process.

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