Let’s thank the bookstore & order all 50 copies they have of my books!

A boss looks for reasons to say no. A leader looks for reasons to say yes.

A boss issues orders and demands loyalty. A leader gives direction and takes responsibility.

A boss expects to be the most important person in the room. A leader makes everyone feel important.

I’ve been brainstorming creative ways to teach a child important life skills.

Building a garden with them is my best idea:

• Delayed gratification
• Hard work with hands
• Math, science, economics
• Healthy habits
• Ownership & consistency
• Solitude

Seems like a winner!

MVPs are often misunderstood. They're not:

1. the fastest thing to build
2. the smallest thing to build

MVPs are quickest way to test your riskiest assumption. Ask: What could you build so as to quickly learn if your riskiest assumption is true?
