Stop asking, “What’s your passion?”

It’s the wrong question.

And honestly?

It stresses people out.

Here’s a better way to think about what really drives you 👇

You too can have a sales clone. https://t.co/WWeVdY2xLR

Sharing your work is not selfish. It's an act of self-expression and social contribution.

Promoting your ideas is different from promoting yourself. Self-promotion shouts, “Look at me!” Idea-promotion says, “I have something to offer."

Don’t deprive the world of your ingenuity.

The journey for a $100 product is massively different (and less trackable) then for a $100k client.
Don't treat them the same.

Don’t just read books, re-read books.

What's your favorite book to re-read?

[Ian Garlic @iangarlic]

4000 weeks by @oliverburkeman It’s the remedy to not feeling productive, the illusion of time and the pull of “more”

[Ian Garlic @iangarlic]

“Steve Jobs” by @WalterIsaacson This is the invention of the future. It’s a case story on vision , leadership, family life , team building, starting over and redemption by the best biographer out there

[Ian Garlic @iangarlic]

“The creative act” by @RickRubin This is a “constant read” much like @RyanHoliday s. The audiobook is like listening to @YoYo_Ma read.

[Ian Garlic @iangarlic]

“The War of Art” by @SPressfield succinct but perfect in fueling my battle against the Resistance. I write every morning and this audiobook rings in my mind

[Ian Garlic @iangarlic]

How to be like Walt by Pat Williams. It’s one of the best business case stories for visionaries

Being a lifelong learner isn’t about taking pride in your knowledge. It's about having the humility to know what you don’t know.

@hootsuite you’ve been charging us for 10 years. No one has logged in in 10 years. We asked you not to charge us one time and you dispute it? You’re everything wrong with #saas

The single most powerful habit for personal growth:

Journaling.

Over the past 5 years, I've journaled every single morning—and along the way, I've:

• Answered over 1,000 questions
• Tested every app, pen, & notebook

But I always return to a pen, paper, and these 5 prompts:

Me: I'll never be one of those authors that checks daily book stats on @AmazonKDP

Also Me: Command R. Command R. Command R.
