If you make a difference, people will gravitate to you. They want to engage, to interact and to get you more involved.

The present is the point of power.

The search for the right answer is the enemy of art.

The next time you have a choice between chasing the charts (whichever charts you keep track of) and doing the work your customers crave, do the work instead.

The people who successfully start independent businesses (franchises, I think are a different thing) do it because we have no real choice in the matter. The voice in our heads won't shut up until we discover if we're right, if we can do it, if we can make something happen. This is an art, our art, and to leave it bottled up is a crime.

The art of moving forward lies in understanding what to leave behind.

When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.
