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.’

‘To position yourself to succeed in a challenging work environment, start by confronting the facts. Don’t ignore reality…’

‘Greatness in work, art, and science requires obsession over quality and an extraordinary attention to detail.’

‘Don’t just see yourself as an employee- see yourself as an innovator of work. Hunt and cure pain points, ask stupid questions, and zoom in on how you can redesign and create value for others.’

‘Follow your passion at all costs and no matter how hard you work.’

‘To avoid the extremes of too little or too much collaboration, top performers discipline collaboration: they carefully select which collaboration activities to participate in (and reject others), and then follow specific rules to make the chosen activities a success.’

‘When you narrow your scope of work and jettison less important tasks, you free up time that you can spend outside work.’

‘Work on how you work, not on protecting your life from your work.’

‘To maximize your collaboration’s chances of success, you need a forcing mechanism to assure that your collaboration receives sufficient time, effort, and financial support.’

‘Don’t let a single disruptive person prevent the entire team from implementing a decision that has been well argued.’

‘To vanquish opposition in the workplace, you must do more than persevere. You also need to tailor your tactics to neutralize opposition from people.’

‘To inspire people and gain their support, line up high-arousal emotions on your side– make them mad and fearful about the present, and joyful and excited about your proposed future goal.’

‘People with a strong sense of both passion and purpose are more energized, getting more done in each hour of work (and they don’t work many extra hours).’
