Here are 2 cents from me:
#1 Done is better than perfect -> simply ship the stuff, make an idea tangible, then debug it.
#2 Nay sayers and haters are the greatest advisers -> treasure them = listen to them - get better and ship cooler stuff thanks to them.

Thanks Seb -> you just contributed to Seth's videos collection on #IS. http://ivanasendecka.com/2011/03/08/videos_seth_g...

I am right on it! 3-2-1-play. Thanks, Seb!

This! -> "The most intelligent people I know reacts differently. Instead of doing more things right away, they remain in a state of self skepticism, self observation and self questioning, using all their intelligence and experience to re-write the way they will function in the incoming future. In other words they prepare themselves to change themselves."

Seb, what a wonderful and deep post. I sometimes wonder how come you are not bestselling author with all your insights and wisdom.
Maybe perhaps, because you focus on shipping and I beg you to carry on in this.
You are incredible inspiration for me and many others.
Thank you!

Hiya Daniel,
I am absolute fan of "starting with end in mind" and I agree it is very powerful tool for accomplishing things.

Recently I became fan of Simon Sinek, whose approach: Start with WHY makes loads of sense. Simon, puts WHY before HOW and WHAT.

I personally use motto: Focus on WOW and HOW will unfold itself.
;-)
So, once you know why you do, what you do, (which ideally should be, because it makes you feel and peeps around WOW), then WHAT and HOW will emerge naturally;-)

Hiya Jacob!;-)
Spot on!
Failing often is the way to success! Failing, standing up and screwing up again with all enthusiasm and passion, again;-)
Yes, it is "eyes and ears hurting" experience, when I watch my first videos, ouch.
But again, those who "ship" = do the stuff understand it, because everyone who is master at something has been a beginner one day;-)
Merry Xmas, to you.
cheers from Slovakia;-)

Hi Mike and everyone!
Thank you for rising this question marks.

Let me elaborate a bit, from my point of view>>> being a 27 years old person totally passionate about unleashing talents in people, officially without any coaching course or certificate and for last 10 months giving away my gifts to everyone eager to learn for free.

I believe that being a leader and bringing up new generation of leaders must start very early in life, if we want as society to progress. Leadership courses should not be available only for managers in the company (that is what I have been told when I wanted to attend such trainings during my "employee times"). More over to acquire leadership skills is not about one event, it is a long process.

Many people perceive that leadership is only for elites and that is for them a mental block in their head: "aaw, don't be silly, you are without any title, you cannot afford to have a coach, it is only for executives." Some coaches became happy with this status quo positioning of their services. High fees style have built more and more brick-walls around them. Same happened to employers and bosses who are afraid to lose their position, are protecting themselves from "disobedient" employees.

But in this case "disobedient" employees are just asking questions, are eager to learn and to grow, act proactively and are not afraid to fail. Aren't these patterns of innovators? Well, corporate world call them non-compliant.

If we will not start to lead by example and show real life examples from our lives, how we conquered our fears, how we achieved something what everyone told us it is impossible, how we have failed, we will not convince or inspire anyone.
If we don't have our own stories, then whole point of what we are trying to teach is just talking...with essential part of walking missing...

To innovate is to perform-get feedback- and then revise. Repeating same thing over and over could work before, but not know, when everything is viral, online and word is spreading at the speed of light.

Guys, please try to talk to your clients and try to open their eyes to see the great potential around them. Teach them to encourage pro-activity, teach them to value those who are not afraid to fail and admit it when they do. Teach them, that next generations will not work for them if they will not see the deeper meaning and purpose explained to them.

I am telling you teach them, because I cannot access executives (at the moment), because they will not listen to a "girl" with no "experience".

;-)

Have a super cool day,
cheers from Slovakia
