The principle of Creative Limitations calls for freedom within a circle of obstacles and restricted boundaries. Talent is like a muscle: without something to push against, it atrophies. So we deliberately put obstacles in our path - barriers that will inspire us. We disciple ourselves as to what to do, while we're boundless as to how to do it.

The Business story is designed to trigger the listener to take an effective action. If it doesn't, the story fails.

No matter our talent, we all know in the midnight of our souls that 90 percent of what we do is less than our best.

Talent without craft is like fuel without an engine, it burns wildly but accomplishes nothing.
