#Branding

Very few people or companies can clearly articulate Why they do What they do.  By Why, I mean, what is your purpose, cause, or belief?  Why does your company exist?  Why do you get out of bed every morning?  And Why should anyone care?  Inspiring leaders and companies think, act, and communicate from the inside out.  They start with their Why.

Attention Management

Attention matters - and in an era in which our attention is being fought for by every new app, website, article, book, tweet, and post, its value has only gone up.  Attention is a habit, and by letting your attention slip and wander bad habits are developed and mistakes are made.  Your attention is one of your most critical resources.  Don't squander it!

#Innovation

Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and CEO, has said that if his people have a one-in-10 chance of making a 100x return on an investment, he wants them to make that bet every time.  But that means that to reap the reward Amazon needs to be willing to tolerate someone failing nine out of 10 times.

Humility Over Ego

Humility is clearer-eyed than ego, and that's important because humility always works harder than ego.

#Goals

Knowing what your goal is-having that crystal clear-allows you to know when to follow conventional wisdom and when to say "Screw it."
