I've never once met a successful blogger who questioned the personal value of what she did.

Positive thinking doesn't guarantee results, all it offers is something better than negative thinking.

Isn't the drawing board the place where all the best work happens? It's not a bad thing to go back there. It's the entire point.

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

Great marketers don't make stuff. They make meaning.

That's why there's lots and lots of kinds of hot sauces, and not so many kinds of mustard. Not because it's hard to make interesting mustard - you could make interesting mustard - but people don't, because no one's obsessed with it, and thus no one tells their friends.

Go do something interesting. Ask if you need help.
