Poke the Box

Прочитал. Цытаты, в порядке обратном хронологии книги:

• Forward motion is the key to success.
• Forward motion is a defensible business asset.
• In fact, we spend most of our days waiting for permission to start.
• "Not what I expected to find" - is a report of a good scientist.
• Invest some time and earn the right to ask. Do your homework. Build connections.
• The alternative to planning on late is to initiate before it's required, to ship before the deadline, to put the idea out there before the crisis hits. This act of bravery actually gives you influence, leverage, and control in a way that planning on late never can.
• Late is a tool for people unable to find the guts to stand for their acts.
• It's impossible to have a "success-only" policy. That policy itself will guarantee that there will be no success.
• Formulating a plan is a rare and valuable skill.
• The relentless act of invention and innovation and initiative is the best marketing asset.
• Organize for joy.
• Keep starting until you finish.
• Starting something is not an event; it's a series of events.
• The person who fails the most usually wins.
• Figuring out which ideas resonate and then shipping them.
• At some point your work has to intersect with the market.
• Try is the opposite of hiding.
• The opportunity lies in pursuing your curiosity instead.
• When the cost of poking the box is less than the cost of doing nothing, then you should poke!
• When you are doing hard work, getting rejected, failing, working it out - this is a dumb time to make a situational decision about whether it's time for a nap or a day off or a coffee break.
• Naming it (resistance) helps you befriend it. And befriending it helps you ignore it.
• Hard work is going to be here no matter what.
• The more you do the more you fail.
• I define anxiety as expecting failure in advance.
