art responsibility people
Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.
marketing marketers
Good marketers measure.
leadership trying tiny
The tiny cost of failure...is dwarfed by the huge cost of not trying.
leadership people engagement
People are not afraid of failure, they're afraid of blame.
perfect goal important
Perfect can't possibly be the goal, we're left with generous, important and human instead.
choices mediocrity settling
You don't have to settle. It's a choice you get to make every day.
waiting mediocrity bars
You can raise the bar or you can wait for others to raise it, but it's getting raised regardless.
ideas execution great-idea
There's no shortage of great ideas. There's a shortage of execution.
teacher art book
The art, the new, the ability to connect the dots and to make an impact - sooner or later, that can only come from one who creates, not from a teacher and not from a book.
winning ideas people
People who can spread ideas regardless of what those ideas are, win.
what-if trying stronger
But what if I fail? You will. A better question might be, ‘after I fail, what then?’ If you’ve chosen well, after you fail you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those that are afraid to try.
moving opportunity goal
The goal of a marketing interaction isn't to close the sale, any more than the goal of a first date is to get married. No, the opportunity is to move forward, to earn attention and trust and curiosity and conversation.
business opportunity goal
Change is not a threat, it's an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.
technology people figures
Figure out the people part and the technology gets a whole lot simpler.
