Fear for a linchpin is a clue that you're getting close to doing something important.

The problem with competition is that it takes away the requirement to set your own path, to invent your own method, to find a new way.

If you've got the platform and the ability to make a difference, then this goes beyond 'should' and reaches the level of 'must.' You must make a difference or you squander the opportunity. Wasting the opportunity both degrades your own ability to contribute and, more urgently, takes something away from the rest of us.

The future of marketing is leadership

If you are wiling to do something that might not work, you are closer to being an artist.

The only thing worse than starting something and failing... is not starting something.

The sooner we realize that the world has changed, the sooner we can accept it and make something of what we've got. Whining isn't a scalable solution.
