QUOTES & CONCEPTS

A flavor of how I approach advisory and leadership

  • FOCUS + CLARITY

    You can have excuses or results. Not both.

    If the house is on fire, don't focus on what's for dinner.

    Today’s obsessions = Tomorrow’s realities

    Clear thoughts produce clear results.

    “Throughout history, disciplined armies easily routed disorganized hordes.” - Yuval Harari

  • BIAS TO ACTION

    Stop admiring the problem.

    “A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.” - Patton

    “Whining isn't a scalable solution.” - Seth Godin

    “100% of the shots that you don’t take don’t go in.” - Wayne Gretsky

    “The longer you wait for the future, the shorter it will be.” - Loesje

    “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” - Peter Drucker

    Good things come to those who go out and earn it.

  • SELF-AWARENESS

    Eulogy qualities, not just resume qualities.

    Desire is the great intangible in performance.

    “Knowing others is wisdom; knowing the self is enlightenment.” - Lao Tzu

    Be the most extreme version of yourself that still yields positive results.
