100 Ideas

Part 2People matter.

Start People, Not UpsCreate communities to be able to sustain projects.

Give before you getEvery conversation should be a value-exchange. Be indispensable. Be interesting.

Be Honest“Nothing happens unless someone else does something”~Jay Markiewicz

Passion + Skill + StoryYou have two ears and one mouth so you should listen twice as much as you speak.

Part 3Know yourself.

Bite off more than you can chew.Failure is essential to learning.

You are what you eat.Everything you consume affects you.

Make yourself uncomfortable(jammies allowed)
