RISK - a four letter word?

If you're waiting for an industry or market to validate your ideas, you will be moving too slow to make a difference.  Too many times developers wait to have their ideas or inventions chosen or proven by another before they take the risk of building it to its full potential.

Don't misinterpret what I am saying.  Many of the best ideas need to be reworked, built upon and enhanced through constructive criticism and a different point-of-view.  But there's a huge difference between good feedback and corporate oppression.

If you have a vision for building a company or product, do it. If you want to build a new software application, build it. No need to wait for someone with a big title to validate your idea.

What is your definition of success?

Regardless of the events that brought you to the battle, you really have only two maneuvers to choose.  Surrender and become a prisoner or face the battle directly and experience all of the possibilities that your creativity and the changes you make have to offer. 

Selecting the route of the true warrior and facing your fears and challenges without hesitation is my definition of success.

Pull the Pin and Declare WAR



Work is a never ending flurry of firefights and battles, and you will never climb the ranks from a private to general unless you can identify who the enemies are.  People can be coy, clever and cunning when masking their intentions, and just because they wear the same uniform, does not mean they are on your side.  You need to think clearly and realistically.  Learn to sniff out the enemy and spot them by the tracks and trash they leave behind.  And once you discover their location...........declare war.

NEVER THROW YOUR LAST PUNCH: The Mind of the Scrapper



What wears you out and beats you up the most is the past.  You must not stop fighting against the past and drive yourself to defend and battle the present moment.  Be tough and relentless on yourself; never duplicate the same exact fight sequence twice.  Declare WAR on your mind.  Don't allow yourself to get sloppy in your strategy... be nimble and smart with every motion.
