Don't Ask People To Do Something You

My Theory Is That When You're Young, You Should Work Eighty Hours A Week To Create A Product Or Service That Changes The World.

At The End Of My Life, Is It Better To Say That I Empowered People To Make Great Stuff, Or That I Died With A Net Worth Of $10 Billion? Obviously I'm Picking The Former, Although I Would Not Mind Both.

The Companies That Are Successful, They Start Out To Make Meaning, Not To Make Money.

You Need To Save Some Mental, Physical, And Emotional Resources For Enhancing Your Product After You Ship. A Revolution Is A Triathlon, Not A Hundred-yard Dash-it Requires Long Distance Stamina And Multiple Skills Such As Creating, Churning, And Evangelizing.

The Record Of What You Do Is Forever Recoverable Because Of Google. The Lofty Upside And Scary Downside Makes Reciprocity More Important Than Ever. This Is All Good Because It Makes People Think More Before They Do Something That Reduces Their Trustworthiness.
