moments leap remarkable
It always feels too soon to leap. But you have to. Because that's the moment between you and remarkable.
path determine grownups
Embracing the fear of freedom, deciding to determine your own path, this is the work of a grownup.
entrepreneur innovation management
More process, less innovation. More operations, less innovation. More management, less innovation. More entrepreneurs, more innovation.
careers good-things camps
All the good things in my career are a direct descendant of what I did and learned at # camp
journey talking people
Without people pushing against your quest to do something worth talking about, it's unlikely to be worth the journey. Persist.
kindness interesting impatience
We're often in a hurry to finish. Or in a hurry to close a sale. What happens when we adopt the posture of being in a hurry to be generous? With resources or insight or access or kindness... It's an interesting sort of impatience.
privilege initiative
Initiative is the privilege of picking yourself.
favorite-words effort awkward
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.
firsts great-work
Great work is always shunned at first.
jobs school kids
If you do a job where someone tells you exactly what to do, they will find someone cheaper than you to do it. And yet our schools are churning out kids who are stuck looking for jobs where the boss tells them exactly what to do
people giving foolish
You can't control other people, and giving them the power to decide if you will continue to produce good work is foolish.
real ideas world
When you put your ideas in the world, then, and only then, do you know if they're real.
art writing blogging
If you love writing or making music or blogging or any sort of performing art, then do it. Do it with everything you've got. Just don't plan on using it as a shortcut to making a living.
believe people way
Many people believe that great designers get great clients. It's the other way around.
