3 QUOTES

“Perfectionism is a 20-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact,

it’s the thing that’s really preventing us from being seen and taking flight.”

Brené Brown

“In a digital world of abundant choice and scarce attention, it’s never been easier for our work to be ignored. Everything we do must be remarkable, attention-earning, and sharable.”

Bud Caddell (paraphrased)

“Stop asking what’s in it for you and start giving gifts that change people. Then, and only then, will you have

achieved your potential.”

Seth Godin
