"You don't need a MBA, a certificate, a fancy suit, a briefcase, or an above-average tolerance for risk.  You just need an idea, a touch of confidence, and a push to get started."

"What you do is your legacy.  Don't sit around and wait for someone else to make the change you want to see.  And don't think it takes a huge team to make that difference either."

"If you’re going to do something, do something that matters."

"When you solve your own problem, the light comes on.  You know exactly what the right answer is."

"When you build what you need, you can also assess the quality of what you make quickly and directly, instead of by proxy."

"There's always enough time if you spend it right.  And don't think you have to quit your day job, either.  Hang onto it and start work on your project at night."

"When you start anything new, there are forces pulling you in a variety of directions.  There's the stuff you could do, the stuff you want to do, and the stuff you have to do.  The stuff you have to do is where you should begin."

"Whenever you can, swap 'Let's think about it', for 'Let's decide on it.'  Commit to making decisions.  Don't wait for the perfect solution.  Decide and move forward."

"It doesn't matter how much you plan, you'll still get some stuff wrong anyway.  Don't make things worse by overanalyzing and delaying before you even get going."

"Stop imagining what's going to work.  Find out for real."

"Momentum fuels motivation.  It keeps you going.  It drives you.  Without it, you can't go anywhere.  If you aren't motivated by what you're working on, it won't be very good."
