If you can't sell your product, it's not a product-it's a hobby.
People's reputations are made in the bad times more than the good times.
Longevity is a big part of credibility.
Blogging is great, and I read blogs all day long. However, my goal is really to have a deep, meaningful discussion with people. For some reason, I'm able to accomplish this best via email.
I get a lot of emails from entrepreneurs. The best ones are short, to the point and include some question and/or the product
You should know what makes one photo brilliant and another. Why one illustration is instructive and another is banal. Why one blurb is clever and another is trying too hard. Why one video is brilliantly entertaining and another is cheesy. Bottom line: you should want to do great work with a great team-no matter the cost.
Starting is easy. Finishing is hard.
The currency of blogging is authenticity and trust.
Be amazing. Be everywhere. Be real
Average people push great people out of a company.
Perhaps we are looking at this from a wrong perspective; this search for the truth, the meaning of life, the reason of God. We all have this mindset that the answers are so complex and so vast that it is almost impossible to comprehend. I think, on the contrary, that the answers are so simple; so simple that it is staring us straight in the face, screaming its lungs out, and yet we fail to notice it. We're looking through a telescope, searching the stars for the answer, when the answer is actually a speck of dirt on the telescope lens.

I've developed some deep relationships over the past couple of years blogging and I realize that those relationships manifest themselves in the links I find when I do my x a daily ego search over at Technorati.
If everybody has a voice, then you end up with something average.
