Here's the truth you have to wrestle with: the reason that art (writing, engaging, leading, all of it) is valuable is precisely why I can't tell you how to do it.

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.

Saying 'no' or even 'stop' is the hallmark of the professional you want on your team.

The minute there's a map, there is no art. Paint by numbers is not art. Paint by numbers is a mechanical activity.

Art is the act of doing work that matters while dancing with the voice in your head that screams for you to stop.

Surprise comes from defying expectations.
Seth Godin

The only people who get paid what they're worth are people who don't follow the instruction book, who create art, who are innovative, who work without a map.

An organization filled with honest, motivated, connected, eager, learning, experimenting, ethical and driven people will always defeat the one that merely has talent. Every time.
