If you make money, you might not make meaning.

The companies that are successful, they start out to make meaning, not to make money.

I don't "need" the rush to be happy. I'd be perfectly happy without the attention and action.

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.

There was no "decision" per se to re-position myself. I simply decided that I wanted to write a book that would help people influence others.

The A-listers and the A+ listers, are reporting the news, they're not making it.

"No one is doing what we're doing." This is a bummer of a lie because there are only two logical conclusions. First, no one else is doing this because there is no market for it. Second, the entrepreneur is so clueless that he can't even use Google to figure out he has competition. Suffice it to say that the lack of a market and cluelessness is not conducive to securing an investment. As a rule of thumb, if you have a good idea, five companies are going the same thing. If you have a great idea, fifteen companies are doing the same thing.
