Qui suis-je et Pourquoi la clarté est la base de l'entrepreneuriat

[Identifier trois mots qui décrivent la personne que tu veux être et régler une alarme trois fois par jour pour te rappeller que tu es cette personne.]

[Quelles sont les compétences que tu manques pour réussir dans ton business?]

[Comment est-ce que je peux ajouter plus de valeur?]

[Community growth isn't about management but developing leaders.]

[If one of your hand-raisers isn't ready to lead yet, let them do something small in scope to help build reflexes and experience.]

[Map out leaders' journeys from development to growth so that you can supercharge their activities: prepare to give them the right support at the right moment.]

[Anticipate their difficulties: offer training if they have fears about first-time hosting; provide templates if they're worried it takes long to make presentations; organize resources in one place if they spend time looking for supporting documents.]

[Reach out to organizers to ask where the road bumps are.]

Part of Bailey Richardson: Get Together.

Joyce: Astronauta (Canções de Elis))

Jazz tributes to Brazilian singer Elis Regina. Solos by Joe Lovano, Mulgrew Miller, and Renne Rosnes.

[Create together. Build together.]

Thumpasaurus: I’m Pissed

Understanding Women: Female Rivalry

[Women try to select for the best male and keep them within their group.]

[Women tend to group themselves into similar levels of attractiveness.]

[Every baby has cried and been scared of being abandoned.]

[We're hard-wired to avoid rejection and abandonment because it's directly linked to our survival.]

[The tool obsession for women is more about specific techniques to accentuate attractiveness.]

[The beauty industry invents flaws to keep women spending money.]

Rivalry is pretty good for engagement (don’t tell zuck)

[Zoom self-view makes you tired faster because it's not normal for you to talk at length in front of a mirror with other people.]

[Zoom self-view affects women because they focus on where everyone's eyes might be focused.]

[Be loving and accepting, and undo any false sense of scarcity that has been created.]

App Store Arguments

In this world you don’t need 1,000 true fans to make a living; you need 1,786 — 536 fans to pay Apple, 253 fans to pay Twitter, and only then the 1,000 that make it possible to create something new. It is inevitable that some number of businesses never get started, because of this deadweight loss.

[Apple strategically launched on 2nd or 3rd tier carriers to maximize their control over the experience, and then used the leverage from market dominance to force larger carriers to accept.]

Civic LARPing

[Create opportunities for live-action role-playing by 1) presenting challenges and 2) maintaining a broader audience that witnesses it all.]

Do the Real Thing

[Nothing can be better than something if it fosters the urge to do the real thing. Something fake can be harmful if it drains you of energy and space to do the real thing.]
