I think if you're remarkable, amazing or just plain spectacular, you probably shouldn't have a resume at all.

Every great company, brand, career has been built in exactly the same way: bit by bit, step by step, little by little.

The key to success is to find a way to stand out--to be the purple cow in a field of monochrome Holsteins.

Finding new ways, more clever ways to interrupt people doesn't work.

What is school for? If you're not asking that, you're wasting time and money.

I find that it's almost essential to fall in love with an idea to invest the time it takes to make it good and worth sharing. And then, the hard part: deleting that idea when it's just not what it could be. Too often, organizations are good at the first part, but struggle with the second. And so we defend expired business models, support the status quo and have a knee-jerk inclination to preserve what we've got.

Everyone will think it's stupid!" "Everyone says it's impossible." Guess what? Everyone works in the balloon factory and everyone is wrong.
