Make Something Happen Today, Before You Go Home, Before The End Of The Week. Launch That Idea, Post That Post, Run That Ad, Call That Customer. Go The Edge, That Edge You've Been Holding Back From... And Do It Today. Without Waiting For The Committee Or Your Boss Or The Market. Just Go.

If You Measure It, It Will Improve.

Leadership Is Scarce Because Few People Are Willing To Go Through The Discomfort Required To Lead. This Scarcity Makes Leadership Valuable...it's Uncomfortable To Stand Up In Front Of Strangers. It's Uncomfortable To Propose An Idea That Might Fail. It's Uncomfortable To Challenge The Status Quo. It's Uncomfortable To Resist The Urge To Settle...if You're Not Uncomfortable In Your Work As A Leader, It's Almost Certain You're Not Reaching Your Potential As A Leader.

Marketing Yourself To A New Person Often Involves Being Charismatic, Clever And Quick-but Most Jobs And Most Relationships Are About Being Consistent, Persistent And Brave.
