Transformation al leaders don't start by denying the world around them. Instead, they describe a future they'd like to create instead.

I find that I have about six bloggable ideas a day. I also find that writing twice as long a post doesn't increase communication, it usually decreases it. And finally, I found that people get antsy if there are unread posts in their queue.

Embracing the fear of freedom, deciding to determine your own path, this is the work of a grownup.

One way to work the system is to work the system. The other way is to refuse to work it.

The resistance is the voice in your head telling you to use bullets in your PowerPoint slides...It’s the voice that tells you to leave controversial ideas out of the paper you’re writing, because the teacher won’t like them. The resistance pushes relentlessly for you to fit in.

I made a decision to write for my readers, not to try to find more readers for my writing.

Be relentlessly generous, without focusing on when it will come back to you.
