Small things. Small daily disciplines. It is what differs the big from the small.

Know yourself. Know your talent. Know how to leverage it.

Remember yourself who you are on a daily basis.

Art of the superior man.

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity.

We want to feel connected.

But to find out who you really are and to become who you really are, will often lead to lonely roads.

You will lose people. You will have to let go. Find new brothers or sisters. Find people who go with you along the (new) path.

Proposition First. You need a clear proposition what solves an urgent problem. Work on your proposition. If you find the sweet spot, the dam will break. Otherwise you will be working your ass of to get customers.

Plan time to think. Alone. Ask yourself the critical questions. Face the truth. And decide what to do. Frequently. Something I learned from the best mentors and business people. How many times a month do you plan time to think?
