Being a leader doesn't mean you created something or you did something great in the past or some other person has given you any kind of authority.

When people give you their stated reason for doing something always assume they are giving you a reason that sounds good, but not the real reason.

Mistakes I've made in the past make me afraid to try new things in the future. I want to be perfect.

If you act like the river, you ultimately flow past all the rocks along the way.

Sometimes it's better to just be quiet, to not think of anything at all. Out of silence comes the greatest creativity.

I love being honest and intimate with people. I love building community. I love emailing with readers.
