The key to success is to find a way to stand out--to be the purple cow in a field of monochrome Holsteins.

In a race, sooner or later there's a moment that separates the winner from those who don't win. That instant is your chance, the moment you've been waiting for.

My blogging life is basically goalless. I like the zen nature of that, and paradoxically, it improves results.

Marketers want to get their messages in front of you. They must get their messages in front of you, just to survive. The only problem is-do you really want more marketing messages?

But what if I fail? You will. A better question might be, ‘after I fail, what then?’ If you’ve chosen well, after you fail you will be one step closer to succeeding, you will be wiser and stronger and you almost certainly will be more respected by all of those that are afraid to try.

Just saying yes because you can't bear the short-term pain of saying no is not going to help you do the work.

The way to get unstuck is to start down the wrong path, right now.
