Seth's Blog : Is it possible there was a misunderstanding?

Is it possible that you misunderstood them, or they misunderstood you? With your client, employee, vendor, partner, or that random passerby? The thing that just happened, it sounds terrible, and if they did it on purpose, the way it sure...

Is it possible there was a misunderstanding?

Is it possible that you misunderstood them, or they misunderstood you?

With your client, employee, vendor, partner, or that random passerby?

The thing that just happened, it sounds terrible, and if they did it on purpose, the way it sure seems to you and to me, that would be horrible.

But before we burn down bridges and ruin everyone's day, just a quick moment to wonder, "what if there was something misunderstood?"

It's a lot easier to ask than it is to go to all the trouble of breaking things.

Seth's Blog : The magic wand store is closed

It's fun to imagine what we'd do if we had a magic wand, something that with a wave, could produce us the introduction, the funding, the open door, the technology, the breakthrough, the insight, the inspiration, the shortcut... They stopped...

It's fun to imagine what we'd do if we had a magic wand, something that with a wave, could produce us the introduction, the funding, the open door, the technology, the breakthrough, the insight, the inspiration, the shortcut...

They stopped making magic wands a millenia ago.

Now that you know that there are no magic wands, a better question is probably:

What do you care enough about that you're prepared to expose yourself to fear, risk and hard work to get?

Batteries not included

It's easy to dream of a strategy or a set of tactics that will make your forward motion feel less like an uphill slog. A perpetual motion machine of progress.

These are few and far between.

The single most important part of any project is the battery, the source of energy, the optimism and effort that turns the long shot into the sure thing, one day at a time.

Better to hire and train and seek out batteries. They're priceless.
