You can't fool all the people, not even most of the time. And people, once unfooled, talk about the experience.

If you hear my idea but don't believe it, that's not your fault; it's mine. If you see my new product but don't buy it, that's my failure, not yours. If you attend my presentation and you're bored, that's my fault too.

Give up control and give it away ... The more you give your idea away, the more your company is going to be worth.

The market and the consumer and idea trump the system.

The application process changes the list of who applies. Your applicants reflect your methods.

If you're going to invest a valuable asset (like time), go ahead and make it productive. Use a postit or two, or some index cards or a highlighter. Not to write down stuff so you can forget it later, but to create marching orders. It's simple: if three weeks go by and you haven't taken action on what you've written down, you wasted your time.

Business, Taken, Writing

...treasure what it means to do a day's work. It's our one and only chance to do something productive today, and it's certainly not available to someone merely because he is the high bidder. A day's work is your chance to do art, to create a gift, to do something that matters. As your work gets better and your art becomes more important, competition for your gifts will increase and you'll discover that you can be choosier about whom you give them to.

Motivational, Art, Business

One way to think about running a successful business is to figure out what the least you can do is, and do that.

It's not about you, it's about the next person. The single best use of a business book is to help someone else. Sharing what you read, handing the book to a person who needs it... pushing those around you to get in sync and to take action-that's the main reason it's a book, not a video or a seminar. A book is a souvenir and a container and a motivator and an easily leveraged tool. Hoarding books makes them worth less, not more.

Business, Book, Next

Some people read business books looking for confirmation. I read them in search of disquiet. Confirmation is cheap, easy and ineffective. Restlessness and the scientific method, on the other hand, create a culture of testing and inquiry that can't help but push you forward.

Business, Book, Hands

Lack of resources (payroll), time and competing priorities are why so many nonprofits haven't done well. It's that simple.

Developing expertise or assets that are not easily copied is essential; otherwise you're just a middleman.

Once you have permission to talk to someone, finding new products or services for them is a smart way to grow.

Decide, before you start, that you're going to change three things about what you do all day at work. Then, as you're reading, find the three things and do it. The goal of the reading, then, isn't to persuade you to change, it's to help you choose what to change.
