How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?

People don't believe what you tell them.They rarely believe what you show them.They often believe what their friends tell them.They always believe what they tell themselves.

Wouldn't it be great to be gifted? In fact... It turns out that choices lead to habits. Habits become talents. Talents are labeled gifts. You're not born this way, you get this way.

Great work is not created for everyone. If it were, it would be average work.

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

How do I dance with the fear? Fear is not the enemy. Paralysis is the enemy.

Conversations among the members of your marketplace happen whether you like it or not. Good marketing encourages the right sort of conversations.

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

The media wants overnight successes (so they have someone to tear down). Ignore them. Ignore the early adopter critics that never have enough to play with. Ignore your investors that want proven tactics and predictable instant results. Listen instead to your real customers, to your vision and make something for the long haul. Because that's how long it's going to take, guys.
