The only way to get what you're worth is to stand out, to exert emotional labor, to be seen as indispensable, and to produce interactions that organizations and people care deeply about.

We fail when we give up too soon.

Make a decision. It doesn't have to be a wise decision or a perfect one. Just make one.

Keep starting until you finish.

Not only must you be an artist, must you be generous, and must you be able to see where you can help but you must also be aware. Aware of where your skills are welcomed.

Competence is no longer scarce.

The ONLY thing leaders have in common is the shared decision to lead.
