As a reminder, I would like to write the points I considere more important for me and where I want to work:
- Act on your inspiration
- “Use your best energy for your best results”
- "Your passion can expire, if you wait too long or miss the window of opportunity”
- “A common way to kill idea or momentum is to spread them out over time, or keep pushing them out”
- Be a coach, not a critic
- “Use your inner coach for constructive feedback, and give your inner-critic a break”
- Be on fire
- “You know when you’re on fire. You kno what you’re like when you’re in the zone and you’re fully engaged and you’re at your best. Sometimes, the easiest way to get back to this mode is to simply remember what if feels like”
- Be YOUR best
- “Compete with yourselft and make it a game”
- Build your band of merry men
- “Surround yourself with the people that inspire and deligh you, wherever you go”

- Choose significant tasks that are meaningful for you

- Create a wall of inspiration
- “Put those pictures up that show you the greates things in life and what’s possible. Get those hopes and dreams up on the wall that remind you what’s worth fighting for.”
- “Put those wards on the wall and quotable quotes that fire you up and make you feel alive”
- Decide
- “Nothing builds momentum like decisive action. Just Decide.Decisive action is motivation, it build momentum and it crowds out excuses”
- Do worst things first
- “Don’t let things loom over you. Once they’re out of the waym the rest is a glide-path”
- Don’t let feat stop you

- “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”, Roosevelt
- Don’t be perfectionist
- “Perfection is a fallacy and it’s over-rated. A better focus is to be effective. Make it work, then make it right. Think of perfection as a process of improvement.”
- “Focus on good enough for now. and satisfice”.
