What if getting bigger isn't the point? What if you merely got better?

I've found that giving gifts is transformative. It makes me better. It clarifies my thinking and allows me to do better work.

Some people read business books looking for confirmation. I read them in search of disquiet. Confirmation is cheap, easy and ineffective. Restlessness and the scientific method, on the other hand, create a culture of testing and inquiry that can't help but push you forward.

It's not an accident that successful people read more books.

The innovator creates a business where they are making money, even when they sleep.

Be bold, make mistakes, learn a lesson, and fix what doesn't work.

You win by trying. And failing. Test, try, fail, measure, evolve, repeat, persist.
