My problem with the search for the badge of real is that it trades your goals and your happiness for someone else's.

The internet has opened the door for millions of businesses to do things differently, because there are other assets now, assets that can transcend location. Your permission to talk to customers, your reputation, your unique products-you can build a business around them online.

Your generosity is more important than your perfection.

The fatigue was there, but some people understood that putting it aside was the single most important factor in succeeding.

When you think about Uber and Airbnb and the other companies that are turning things upside down, Uber isn't big 'cause they ran a lot of ads. They're big because someone took out their iPhone and said to their friend, watch this, and pressed a button and a car pulled up.

Change is not a threat, it's an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.

Gratitude and opportunity create more of the same.
