There's no shortage of remarkable ideas, what's missing is the will to execute them.

As soon as you are willing to say 'it's not for you', you're freed up to make art.

What I mean by art is the human act of doing something that connects us to someone else

My best advice: win little battles. Get in the habit of winning, of shipping, of having customers that can't live without you. Once you've demonstrated you know how to do the art, then go after the windmills.

No one can force you to stand up, speak up and make a difference. But if you back off and play along, please understand that whatever happens happened, at least in part, because you acquiesced.

Successful people are successful for one simple reason: they think about failure differently.

All artists are entrepreneurs. All entrepreneurs are artists.
