I don’t think the shortage of artists has much to do with the innate ability to create or initiate. I think it has to do with believing that it’s possible and acceptable for you to do it. We’ve had these doors open wide for only a decade or so, and most people have been brainwashed into believing that their job is to copyedit the world, not to design it.

Our job is obvious: we need to get out of the way, shine a light, and empower a new generation to teach itself and to go further and faster than any generation ever has.

Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

Turn strangers into friends. Turn friends into donors. And then do the most important job: Turn your donors into fundraisers.

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.

Are you doing work worth doing, or are you just doing your job?

The job isn't to catch up to the status quo; the job is to invent the status quo.
