money business creativity
Don't worry, be crappy. Revolutionary means you ship and then test... Lots of things made the first Mac in 1984 a piece of crap - but it was a revolutionary piece of crap.
jobs real entrepreneur
It's easy to say that entrepreneurs will create jobs and big companies will create unemployment, but this is simplistic. The real question is who will innovate.
writing flow goodness
Writing is the starting point from which all goodness (and crappiness) flows.
entrepreneur matter bad-times
It doesn't matter whether the Dow is 5000 or 50,000. If you're an entrepreneur, there is no bad time to start a company.
wise people choices
Defy the crowd. The crowd isn’t always wise. It can also lead you down a path of silliness, sub-optimal choices, and downright destruction. Enchantment is as necessary for people to diverge from a crowd as it is to get people to join one.
enchanted bigs persons
If you just enchanted one person per day, you would make a big dent in the universe.
enchantment remember
Remember that nobodies are the new somebodies.
smart believe thinking
Try stuff. I also used to believe that it's better to be smart than lucky because if you're smart you can out-think the competition. I don't believe that anymore-this is not to say that you should strive for a high level of stupidity. My point is that luck is a big part of many successes, so (a) don't get too bummed out when you see a bozo succeed; and (b) luck favors the people who try stuff, not simply think and analyze. As the Chinese say, "One must wait for a long time with your mouth open before a Peking duck flies in your mouth."
goal desire world
The desire to change the world is a tremendous advantage as you travel down the difficult path ahead because focusing on a lofty goal is more energizing and attracts more talent than simply making a buck.
apples people going-away
Look back to the old days: people bought an MS DOS machine and struggled with it for weeks to bring it up to speed. Then Apple created Macintosh, struggled a bit with it, but eventually succeeded. Then it went into other businesses. If your company truly wants to change the world, it would make these problems go away for customers.
motivational people want
While we're living, we need to get over ourselves and accept others if we want to enchant people.
diversity accepting crap
Accept diversity and don't take any crap.
focus brain marketing
If you have more money than brains, you should focus on outbound marketing, If you have more brains than money, you should focus on inbound marketing.
hockey
Hockey is the only thing that I'm not good at that I love.
