Although, I think the quote can be balanced with informed choices. Information in support of a clear, personal direction can work just as well. It’s when we’re overwhelmed and discouraged with outside chatter and lose our own vision that things ‘don’t work out’.

Great post Chris!

We’re all experts in our field in the sense that we spend the most time there. Much more time than our customers do anyway. So, we should be constantly refining the experience we provide for our customers based on all the experience that we have.

I particularly enjoyed:

Thank you.

Oh and @Patty people who live only by the “now and fast” mentality tend to abandon bigger things because they take a long time and spend too much time flitting between small or half-finished stuff. Like the Hummingbird, they run out of energy quickly. Turtles may not look overly exiting, but they stick with things and reach the biggest goals at their pace. Especially in the fast-paced internet world, those who go at a steady pace last longer.
