Competence is no longer a scarce commodity.

When you think about Uber and Airbnb and the other companies that are turning things upside down, Uber isn't big 'cause they ran a lot of ads. They're big because someone took out their iPhone and said to their friend, watch this, and pressed a button and a car pulled up.

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

The value we create is directly related to how much valuable information we can produce, how much trust we can earn, and how often we innovate.

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.

The ladder of success isn't a ladder. It's a series of steps with leaps interspersed along the way.

No niche is too small if it's yours.
Seth Godin
Image
You want it to be hard. If it's hard, then that means others can't do it easily and you can charge for that value.

The only long-term motivation is self motivation. So hire people who are self motivated and get out of their way.

The fatigue was there, but some people understood that putting it aside was the single most important factor in succeeding.

If you are afraid to write or edit or assemble or disassemble, you are merely a spectator. And you are trapped, trapped by the instructions of those you've chosen to follow. Twenty people in the field and eighty thousand in the stands. The spectators are the ones who paid to watch, but it's the player on the field who are truly alive.

All motivation is self-motivation. Your family, your boss, or your co-workers can try to get your engine going, but until you decide what to accomplish, nothing will happen.

Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you male, but about the stories you tell.
Seth Godin
Image
If it were any other way, it would be easy. And if it were any other way, everyone would do it and your work would ultimately be devalued. The yin and yang are clear: without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely it would be worth the journey. Persist.

Set up a life you don't need to escape from.

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.

Build it, and they will come only works in the movies. Social Media is a build it, nurture it, engage them, and they may come and stay.

You market when you hire and when you fire. You market when you call tech support, and you market every time you send a memo.
