If you’re trying to grow, surround yourself with people who are further down the road than you.

If you’re building something, find motivated people.

If you’re working on personal growth, find people who have done it.

[Joseph Logan @josephlogan]

Companies that treat AI as a faster horse keep the same structure and get modest gains. Companies constantly asking what they'd build if they designed the organization from scratch today are pulling ahead. The gap between the two will be insurmountable soon.

@ALadyNamedKatie It’s a big damn deal! Proud of you too. Keep doing the work.

[Nate Miller @nate_t_]

@BoydVarty @BoydVarty truth. Love the way you bring this to the world.

@buschbytes Building a product/service/idea and building a company are totally different things and require different skill sets. You’re going to have to do both. Most founders who fail are really good at #1 and don’t understand #2.

@skylarromines Mic drop.

[Nate Miller @nate_t_]

@investing_law Strongly second this.

@drgurner Energy audits are such a powerful tool. Great point, @drgurner

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

A trait I see in people who reach the top .01%?

Audacity.

As it turns out, the world responds when you put yourself out there. When you give it a real shot for the thing you want—not only in small steps—but in big, bold, smart moves that take a bit of chutzpah.

@investing_law This was exactly my experience.

The BENEFIT of leaving is that if you (or your clients) don’t love the tax guy you can pick one you love! Can’t do that in BigLaw, you’re stuck. Freedom.

@micahjay1 @jspujji This tracks.

@elialbrecht It’s like 1:1 correlation.

[Nate Miller @nate_t_]

@ColinandGarrett @JamesClear 1. Meaningfully connecting with people
2. Learning more about things that I don’t understand well.
(3. Playing with my dogs like I am also a dog.)

Which activities are the best expression of you? Can you spend five minutes doing one of them today?

@ColinandGarrett Jeanne always is a step ahead!!

[Nate Miller @nate_t_]

@elialbrecht Oh man now we’re talking.

@ColinandGarrett To this day I remember a good friend’s open-ended question to me about life:

“What would you do if you if you weren’t afraid?”

I’ve used it over and over both for myself and people I work with.

[Nate Miller @nate_t_]

@ColinandGarrett This is a big point.

Great salespeople get paid the big bucks to deal with the rejection that everyone else can’t deal with.

Also, admissions committees, potential investors, and hiring managers are like buyers this way.

@gregorykennedy I love this punchline so much. It’s so true.

You have the power.

@alischwanke I’m a big fan of saltwater and awesome food.
