Taco Tuesday

Seneca: "What progress have I made?  I am beginning to be my own friend. That is progress indeed. Such a people will never be alone and you may be sure he is a friend to all."

To hit high long iron shots: Rickie Fowler: play ball up in stance a bit, hands just behind the ball, relax, don't try to help it, hit the ball first

Entrepreneurship: the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled. 

When trying to helping people on things big and small ask: what's the home run for you?

Telling someone they will make X amount of money if they call, giving a person great sales training to learn and study < being in a room with a good salesman calling all day

For a job you want to do in or within your job or a cool surrounding job: just start doing it on the side for free.  do what you think the job is, and every week create a 1 page report and ship it to your boss or the respective boss. If you deliver the right value in the 1 pager, eventually they'll let you fill that job

Victor Frankyl: "Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted as wrongly as you are about to act now."

Ray Bradbury: "Don't think.  Thinking is the enemy of creativity.  It's self-conscious, and anything self conscious is lousy. You cannot try to do things.  You simply must do things."

Momentum comes from pushing, not from planning.  Confidence comes from scars and risk, not from indecision. 

What's your plan B, C and D?

Build ambitious friendships with ambitious colleagues. 

Over-prediction fear: belief by most people that terrifying events will be worse than they really are...unsuccessful people struggle with this sometimes, people who don't free their mind up to be more creative

Exert your will on the universe, or the universe will exert its pressure on you

How can you get in the middle of the growth in your field and be a positive difference?

Get a ping pong table

Be honest and tell her exactly what you're looking for

There is fundamentally VERY LITTLE difference between people who do amazingly well and people who are average.

Act immediately as if you had the balls to do it.

Lose money, lose nothing.  Lose health, lose something.  Lose integrity, lose everything. 

Can't we do better than just being busy?

We can live fantastically, robustly or we can live on cruise control.

1000% accountability.
