Loving this quote from Bezos final letter:

"If you want to be successful in business (in life, actually), you have to create more than you consume. Your goal should be to create value for everyone you interact with.”

[Maggie Crowley @maggiecrowley]

The funny part about every PM wanting to do strategy is that writing a strategy isn't the growth signal they think.

BUILD FOR THE LONG-TERM.
I love talking to CEOs who think this way, act this way.

Don’t try selling yourself to people who don’t believe in you. Opt out of skeptics. Find your true believers and fans. Manifestation is all about energy transfer and people meeting you at your energy level.

Invest in people early. Don't wait until they've made it to be kind and helpful. Rinse and repeat.
