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

“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.

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