📣 Curious Quotes from the Author

“Personal purpose, start with these questions: How will the world be better off thanks to you having been on this earth? What are your unique gifts and superpowers? Who have you been when you’ve been at your best? Who must you fearlessly become? At the intersection of these four questions lies your personal purpose.”

“When you’re innovating, sheer thinking just won’t work. What gets you there is fast iteration, and fast failing. And when you fail, you’ve done something great: you’ve learned something. In hindsight, it might look a little embarrassing, and people will say, “You should’ve known that.” But the truth is you couldn’t have known because it’s unchartered territory.”

“Whatever your strengths are, they will likely lead straight into your weaknesses.”

“In the early stages of building a brand, the problem you’re solving should be a constant guiding light.”

“Pick a vision that is ambitious and far-reaching enough to last decades, not years. Commit”

“The best businesses aren’t profit-driven or even product-driven; they’re purpose-driven.”

“To make an impact with creativity, you must love what you do. Otherwise, don’t bother. It requires too many hours of hardship, self-doubt, and pain to conceive of something new and birth it into the world. It takes struggle that you genuinely believe is worth the pain. You must do it as a labor of love.”

“Being able to see the world in a fresh way is the essence of being an entrepreneur. You have an idea about the way the world ought to be. You have a theory about why and how you are going to connect the dots.”

“We need to—as much as we can—take fear out of the game. One way to do this is to imagine that you are already successful. You’ve looked into the future, and you’ve succeeded. What would you enjoy doing today given that knowledge?”
