We're going to spend our entire future living in tomorrow-investing now, when it's difficult, is the single best moment.

Real change comes from finding and embracing and connecting and amplifying those that are inclined to like you and believe in you. Ideas spread from person to person, not so much from you to them. So find your biggest fans and give them a story to tell.

Are you copying others? People won't pay extra for that. You won't be followed for that.

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

Loving what you do is almost as important as doing what you love, especially if you need to make a living at it.

Your peer group are people with similar dreams, goals and worldviews. They are people who will push you in exchange for being pushed, who will raise the bar and tell you the truth. They're not in your business, but they're in your shoes. Finding a peer group and working with them, intentionally and on a regular schedule, might be the single biggest boost your career can experience.

Part of leadership (a big part of it actually) is the ability to stick with the dream for a long time.
