Defending Mediocrity Is Exhausting.

If We Can Fall In Love With Serving People, Creating Value, Solving Problems, Building Valuable Connections And Doing Work That Matters, It Makes It Far More Likely We're Going To Do Important Work

In A Crowded Marketplace, Fitting In Is A Failure. In A Busy Marketplace, Not Standing Out Is The Same As Being Invisible.

Success Brings With It The Fear Of Blowing It. With More To Lose, There's More Pressure Not To Lose It.

This Might End Up In Crying. If You're Not Prepared To Cry About It, I'm Not Sure You're Making Art. And If You're Not Prepared To Dance In Anticipation, You're Definitely Not Making Art.

I Find That It's Almost Essential To Fall In Love With An Idea To Invest The Time It Takes To Make It Good And Worth Sharing. And Then, The Hard Part: Deleting That Idea When It's Just Not What It Could Be. Too Often, Organizations Are Good At The First Part, But Struggle With The Second. And So We Defend Expired Business Models, Support The Status Quo And Have A Knee-jerk Inclination To Preserve What We've Got.
