Set up a life you don't need to escape from.

The market ... demands a signal from you that you're serious, powerful, accepted, and safe.

If you're passionate, be passionate enough to fail. Fail small, accept responsibility, repeat. The people who make change are the survivors of serial failure.

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.

The resistance is not something to be avoided, it's something to seek out.

If you're different somehow and have made yourself unique, people will find you and pay you more.

Without a specific reason for the consumer to behave, without a reward or benefit, the overwhelmed consumer will refuse.
