Your history of work is as important as the work you'll do tomorrow.

If you can raise money, you're never going to have trouble getting a job.

You market when you hire and when you fire. You market when you call tech support, and you market every time you send a memo.

It’s okay. Let your ego push you to be the initiator. But tell your ego that the best way to get something shipped is to let other people take the credit. The real win for you (and your ego) is seeing something get shipped, not in getting the credit when it does.

The essence of marketing today is to tell a story to people who want to hear it, in a way that resonates with them so they are likely to either respond or connect to you, or tell their friends.

Empathy requires something extremely difficult: accepting the fact that we are not and never will be in the other person's shoes. There's no rational, universal course because individuals have different goals, different worldviews and different experiences.

Busy does not equal important. Measured doesn't mean mattered.
