Here’s yet another in a series of thoughts I had while reading Seth Godin’s blog:
About “Effort”
Focus on things that matter when doing your work. Specifically, the quality of your work. Don’t waste time on shortcuts that lead to problems down the road, thus creating greater expense.
You can have it good, you can have it fast, or you can have it cheap. But you can’t have all three.
PS: I assume he meant “unusually high call volume”.

About “An illusion of scale”
Bigger isn’t always better. More isn’t always enough.
To go really big, you need time, resources, and effort. Before you can do that, you need to know why you’re doing it. And quit wasting time doing stuff that does nothing for you. You or anyone else, for that matter.

About “‘They were all bored to tears waiting to hear something they knew’”
New ideas are often misinterpreted as bad ones, I guess.
PS: But “Stairway to Heaven”? Have you not seen Wayne’s World?

About “The test kitchen mindsets”
Quit agonizing over your click rates, your likes, your followers—the analytics. All of it.
Just do it and see if it works. If it fails, learn from that and keep going.
That’s the definition of an innovator.
PS: Reading this will not do the work for you. Writing it certainly hasn’t done it for me.

About “What will you leave behind?”
Your desire and incentive to do a particular type of work will change over time. As you change and grow, you need to let go of old ways. However, even this new beginning will lead to another end.
PS: In twenty years, I might be dead.

About “Afraid of afraid”
Don’t be afraid of being afraid. And don’t worry so much. If you aren’t afraid, you’re really not the brightest bulb paying attention to current events, are you?

Here are some more thoughts I had as I read Seth Godin’s blog. Just random thoughts/musings/ponderings.
About “Seeing the continuum”
Success isn’t achieving what other people want. It’s about deciding what you want and doing the hard work it takes to achieve it.
Everyone has a purpose. Find yours and act accordingly.
