Don’t be afraid to take calculated risks. So if you are trying to assess the market for a potential startup idea you have, dont hold back on the 100$ magazine subscription that can help you understand the industry better. Or buy yet another domain name for a future idea.
If you have an entrepreneurial mindset, you probably know this. Anytime you talk about your idea to someone, most of the feedback is around how it will not work. It took me a while to get used to this and not loose conversation time in being defensive.
All else equal, what makes a group successful is the culture. That applies to companies, organizations, teams, families… everything. Examples- Southwest, Goretex (overused in business schools).
Life goes in phases. When you interact with someone going through a particular phase, remember what it was like when you were going through the same. Wish all attendings/residents did that when supervising interns. Same goes for senior management throwing tasks at rank and file employees.
Of all the ‘alternate’ artists I know, Andy Goldsworthy is perhaps the most famous. I first came to know of his work during a short visit to the Museum of Modern Art store in NYC. His book ‘A Collaboration with Nature‘ was on display, and I was in awe as soon as I flipped the cover.
Andy produces site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings. He only uses natural and found objects to create both temporary and permanent sculptures. There is tons of info on his wikipedia page and his official website.
