Talking about how busy you are is the lowest form of conversation.

In the first ten minutes of talking with someone, never ask for their name, what their job is, or where they live.

Triple down on your strengths first.

When giving a recommendation, resist the urge to provide more than one recommendation.

Easier to find flaws than promise.

Make stuff, and move on.

Don’t brand yourself. Keep doing stuff and have others try to brand you.

Disagreements in partnerships are great. If you agreed on everything, one of you would be disposable.
