If you want to create something, go do it. Don’t think too much about it. If you do not want to create something, then take what you are doing seriously.

Starting something new is about your mindset. It is about your thoughts.

‘If you want to believe the right thoughts, you must create the right thoughts. And you create the right thoughts by intentionally feeding your mind positive thoughts and removing, or at least changing, negative thoughts.’

‘As entrepreneurs we don’t always know how things will work out. But if we patiently and confidently work toward the goal, somehow it will work out.’

‘Take special care to remember the challenges you’ve overcome and the things you’ve learned.’

‘Entrepreneurial independence requires you to strike the safe haven of confidence that lies between ignorance and arrogance.’

‘When entrepreneurs start growing their businesses but they don’t grow their Leadership skills, they get buried by the business.’

‘To maximize your effectiveness as a leader, we need to get you thinking like a CEO. And not just any CEO- an effective CEO, one who focuses on the three jobs of a CEO in an enlightened, modern way.’

‘Be courageous and coach underperformers up or out.’

‘To achieve and sustain the success we want as entrepreneurs, we must avoid the ego TRAPS: timidity, resignation, ambition, pride, sabotage.’

‘When things are difficult and you’re feeling beaten down, have faith and just keep going. Things will work out in the end.’

‘Entrepreneurship is an amazing laboratory where we get to practice becoming our best self. Practice the personal keys to become your best self.’

‘Snow melts from the edges. The changes that are going to fundamentally influence the future of your business are brewing on the periphery. To avoid being taken by surprise by an inflection point, you need to be exposed to what is happening at the edges.’

‘An inflection point happens when a 10X change alters the basic assumptions upon which a business is built.’

‘Start defining your arena by asking which pool of resources- typically revenues- your business currently relies on. What other players might be trying to grap those same resources, even if they don’t make or offer products and services similar to yours.’

‘Practices that displease or even enrage customers can create an opening for a disruptive player to come into your markets and cause customers to defect.’

‘Even when you see an inflection point on the horizon, it can take a lot longer than you think for it to actually arrive.’

‘Creating a plan for fast learning is something successful serial entrepreneurs do almost by instinct.’

‘Good ideas are … important, but the initial ideas that innovators pursue are seldom the ones that make it to market.’

‘We tend to imbue CEOs and senior leaders with supernatural powers when they succeed and with damning deficiencies when they fail.’

‘Internal friction and competition can undermine even the correct response to changing times. Managing politics is a key task for any would-be change agent.’

‘Big changes are often signaled by seemingly small and incremental shifts that nonetheless release a constraint in an existing model, opening it up to an inflection point.’
