Do Something Great.
Start Today.
“

I’m convinced that about half of what
separates the successful
entrepreneurs from the nonsuccessful ones is pure perseverance.
“

If you haven’t found it yet, keep
looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters
of the heart, you’ll know when you find
it. And like any great relationship, it
just gets better and better as the years
roll on.
“

When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest
of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of
plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall
and nobody will see it. You’ll know it’s there, so
you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the
back. For you to sleep well at night, the
aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way
through.
“

My model for business is The Beatles. They were
four guys who kept each other’s kind of negative
tendencies in check. They balanced each other and
the total was greater than the sum of the parts.
That’s how I see business: great things in business
are never done by one person, they’re done by a
team of people.
“

Sometimes when you innovate, you
make mistakes. It is best to admit
them quickly, and get on with
improving your other innovations.
“

Simple can be harder than complex.
You have to work hard to get your
thinking clean to make it simple. But
it’s worth it in the end because once
you get there, you can move
mountains.
“

I think if you do something and it turns
out pretty good, then you should go do
something else wonderful, not dwell on
it for too long. Just figure out what’s
next.
.
“

I don’t really care about being right, I
just care about success. I don’t mind
being wrong, and I’ll admit that I’m
wrong a lot. It doesn’t really matter to
me too much. What matters to me
is that we do the right thing.
“

People think focus means saying yes to the thing
you've got to focus on. But that's not what it
means at all. It means saying no to the hundred
other good ideas that there are. You have to pick
carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we
haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation
is saying no to 1,000 things.
“

If you keep your eye on the profit, you’re
going to skimp on the product. But if you
focus on making really great products, then
the profits will follow.
“

You can't connect the dots looking forward; you
can only connect them looking backwards. So you
have to trust that the dots will somehow connect
in your future. You have to trust in something –
your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This
approach has never let me down, and it has made
all the difference in my life.
“

Your work is going to fill a large part
of your life, and the only way to be
truly satisfied is to do what you
believe is great work. And the only
way to do great work is to love what
you do.
“

Remembering that you are going to
die is the best way I know to avoid the
trap of thinking you have something
to lose. You are already naked. There
is no reason not to follow your heart.
“

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living
someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma —
which is living with the results of other people’s
thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions
drown out your own inner voice. And most
important, have the courage to follow your heart
and intuition. They somehow already know what
you truly want to become. Everything else is
secondary.
We are very excited to soon launch what will be
today's most powerful, centralized and far-reaching
marketplace for entrepreneurs.
