Resolve to do one thing every day that you fear.

To make a bestseller, there are more customers than just your customers: Selling to the end-user is just one piece of the puzzle. In my case, I needed to first sell myself to the publisher to get marketing support and national retail distribution.

Rather than spend my life on data entry and typing, I also take photos on my iPhone of business cards, wine labels, menus, or anything I want to have searchable on-the-run.

Most people are fast to stop you before you get started but hesitate to get in the way if you're moving.

Different is better when it is more effective or more fun.

Every time I find myself stressed out, it's because I do things primarily driven by growth.

Believe it or not, it is not only possible to accomplish more by doing less, it is mandatory. Enter the world of elimination.
