“David’s victory over Goliath, in the Biblical account, is held to be an anomaly. It was not. Davids win all the time.

David can beat Goliath by substituting effort for ability—and substituting effort for ability turns out to be a winning formula for underdogs in all walks of life.”

“Creating a sustainable startup that can fail indefinitely until it succeeds is the only logical response to the reality of trying to start a successful business.”
“I stopped working for other people when I wanted to control my own destiny.”
“Now, I’m really looking for more of a boutique business, one that’s not going to have more than 24 employees and never more than $10 million to $100 million in sales, but is a dependable cash generator. I look for businesses that have a real niche that’s competitively defendable and people want to pay money for it. I’m not very big into the ‘eyeballs’ and page views and that kind of stuff.”
“Inspiring conduct has so much more of an impact than coercing it.”
The Cult of Done Manifesto
- There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
- Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
- There is no editing stage.
- Pretending you know what you’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t and do it.
- Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
- The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
- Once you’re done you can throw it away.
- Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and keeps you from being done.
- People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
- Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
- Destruction is a variant of done.
- If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
- Done is the engine of more.
