Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.
selling used sells
Create something, sell it, make it better, sell it some more and then create something that obsoletes what you used to make.

Just do what's right for the customer, and you'll be okay.

Some things need to be believed to be seen.
teacher hero pedestal
If you have to put someone on a pedestal, put teachers. They are society's heroes.
inspirational entrepreneur world
Great companies start because the founders want to change the world... not make a fast buck.
mba careers banking
An MBA is a great degree for career paths like investment banking, finance, consulting, and large companies. An MBA is not necessarily the right path for starting a tech company. You should be building a prototype, not getting an MBA in that case.
player skills people
Good people hire people better than themselves. So A players hire A+ players. But others hire below their skills to make themselves look good. So B players hire C players. C players hire D players, etc.
business mark good-conversation
The mark of a good conversationalist is not that you can talk a lot. The mark is that you can get others to talk a lot. Thus, good schmoozer's are good listeners, not good talkers.

children cancer shoes
• People deserve a break. The stressed and unorganized person who doesn’t have the same priorities as you may be dealing with an autistic child, abusive spouse, fading parents, or cancer. Don’t judge people until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. Give them a break instead.
business moving important
How fast you are moving is more important than where you are.
fun mean numbers
Klout and various measurements of influence are fun. I love to see where I score on them, but there's a computer algorithm behind the calculation. If there's an algorithm, it can be gamed. Even if it's not gameable, you have to take a leap of faith that the number of followers, retweets, mentions, whatever really mean something.
motivation powerful people
Money is not the sole or most powerful motivation for many people. A higher and tougher test is to look back and see how you've made the world a better place.
