Been thinking a lot about this @CorbettBarr rant:

Yes, spending more time at the office will help you "achieve more stuff."

But it won't necessarily help you achieve better outcomes.

Often we want to get "more done, in less time."

Lately I've been thinking about getting "only the important things done, in less time."

You really can't let fear motivate your work.

Discomfort? Yes. Discomfort leads to creativity.

But fear will inhibit you.

.@clientgiantrob there's something about that word that is cliche and overused.

When everyone's building a platform it loses it's appeal.

Note to myself:

I cringe when I hear folks say they're building a "platform."

I need to stop telling people I'm building a "platform."

Some days, it feels like everything is hopeless.

But putting one foot in front of the other, and always aiming for your best, really helps.

When it comes to marketing, who do you admire, and why?

(For me it's @natekontny because his marketing looks more like "helping people")

I'm working on this image for my next blog post.

Does it intuitively make sense to you? What questions does it bring up?
