Dig into almost every overnight success story and you’ll find about a decade’s worth of hard work and perseverance.

If we're free from the burden of trying to be completely original, we can stop trying to make something out of nothing, and we can embrace influence instead of running from it.

In the end, creativity isn’t just the things we choose to put in, it’s the things we choose to leave out.

Don't wait until you know who you are to get started.

If you’re worried about giving your secrets away, you can share your dots without connecting them.

Enjoy your obscurity while it lasts.

Unless you are actually a ninja, a guru, or a rock star, don't ever use any of those terms in your bio. Ever.
