business believe people
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.
inspirational needs bigger
You have everything you need to build something far bigger than yourself.
status-quo
Either you defend the status quo, or you invent the future.
doing-what-you-love loving-what-you-do important
Loving what you do is almost as important as doing what you love, especially if you need to make a living at it.
encouraging persistence ideas
Most people with a big idea, great talent and/or something to say don't get lucky at first. Or second. Or even third. It's so easy to conclude that if you're not lucky, you're not good. So persistence becomes an essential element of good, because without persistence, you never get a chance to get lucky.
believe thinking games
I don't think we have any choice. I think we have an obligation to change the rules, to raise the bar, to play a different game, and to play it better than anyone has any right to believe is possible.
motivational opportunity winning
Organizations that destroy the status quo win. Whatever the status quo is, changing it gives you the opportunity to be remarkable.
unique differences cogs
There's a huge difference between being a replaceable cog on the assembly line and being the one who is missed, the one with a unique contribution, the one who made a difference.
heart journey challenges
The challenge of our time is to find a journey worthy of your heart and your soul.
art marketing brilliance
You have brilliance in you, your contribution is valuable, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do, and you must.
motivational running opportunity
The people who are good in the long run fail a lot, especially at the beginning. So, when you fail early, it might be worth realizing that this is part of the deal, the price you pay for being good in the long run. Every rejection is a gift. A chance to learn and to do it better next time. An opportunity to figure out how to bounce, not break. Don't waste them.
waiting fine plans
Getting picked is fine if it happens to you. But it's not a plan. It's a version of waiting and hoping.
wise business perfect-one
Make a decision. It doesn't have to be a wise decision or a perfect one. Just make one.
business challenges blogging
The challenge with being an initiator of projects is that you are never, ever done.
