This is for the people who look at the world from a different perspective. The ones who are restless. The ones who strive for change. The ones who see things differently. The ones who don’t accept the status quo. The ones who challenge current thinking patterns. The ones who break down existing barriers. The ones who make the impossible possible. The ones who build new things. The ones most people call crazy, but we call them passionate. This is for the people just like you and me...
To be able to successfully build a car, you have to know every single part by heart, know and understand how they work and what they're good for. The same applies to starting and/or successfully running a company. Changing the rules. Yourself. And ultimately the entire world...
When all we've got is just one chance, we'll try everything we can to take it. On the other hand, when we've got too many chances, we'll often end up really taking none of them...
So you've gotta go to/do the things that pretty much nobody would ever dare to do. That's where the biggest opportunities with the smallest competition can be found...
What looks like a smart move, action, idea, business, etc. from the outside, is very often just the result of many years of pretty dumb attempts that didn't work out. Until finally, one day, one of those dumb things worked out...
The really important things, the things we absolutely have to do, will never be comfortable. That's why we tend to ignore them. Until we forget about them for good...
Every single day someone is getting up in the morning to do exactly what you set out to do. To do the exact same stuff you decided not to do, because you thought it was impossible to pull off. Every single day someone is doing the (seemingly) impossible...
The best time to start marketing your product (or service) is before you build it. Before you even know what that product is going to be. Because that will leave you enough time to build up trust, a reputation, a network and a community. All of which you'd need, to be able to succeed...
If people aren't reading, watching, listening, commenting, liking, sharing, subscribing or buying your stuff, it's probably not their fault. It's probably yours...
There's good advice and then there's real advice. Good advice is usually somehow close to what you'd want to hear. And then there's real advice. The kind of advice you'd probably not really want to hear. Which is usually the only kind of advice you'd have to hear...
The good news: You'll always remember the things you did. The things you've experienced. And the things you've felt. The bad news: You can't just read about those things, watch those things or listen to those things. You'd have to really do those things. Experience those things. And feel those things...
Every decision is better than no decision at all. Even if it turns out to have been a bad decision. Because once you've started moving and building momentum, it's a lot easier to just course-correct than it is to build that momentum totally from scratch...
There's no correlation between how good (you think) your idea is and how likely it is that you're going to succeed. Just like there's no correlation between how bad (you think) your idea is and how likely it is that you're going to fail...
It feels safe to play inside the fence. No one can get it. No one can harm you. And everything feels safe. Until you completely forget about the outside world. And limit yourself to your own little fence world. With different rules. Different rhythms and different ways of doing things...
