Your audacious life goals are fabulous. We're proud of you for having them. But it's possible that those goals are designed to distract you from the thing that's really frightening you--the shift in daily habits that would mean a re-invention of how you see yourself.

Good ideas come from bad ideas, but only if there are enough of them.

People are not afraid of failure, they're afraid of blame.

Do your art. But don't wreck your art if it doesn't lend itself to paying the bills. That would be a tragedy.

Make something happen today, before you go home, before the end of the week. Launch that idea, post that post, run that ad, call that customer. Go the edge, that edge you've been holding back from... and do it today. Without waiting for the committee or your boss or the market. Just go.

More time [to decide] without more information just creates anxiety, not insight.

You cannot buy your way to share of voice today; you cannot buy attention anymore.
