My Operating Beliefs
What I Do
Build Cool Stuff. Mentor People.
Why I Do It
My Success Lies Behind Your Success
Learn and Teach Something Every Day
The only way to grow is to learn. Have insatiable curiosity. Read. Listen. Ask questions. Share what you have learned. Celebrate ‘Ah-Ha!’ moments.
Success Isn’t Lonely
Meet interesting people. Maintain relationships. Offer help. Ask for help. Say ‘Thank You’.
Measure What Matters
The only way to improve something is to measure it. If it matters, measure it. If it doesn’t matter, don’t.
Be Like Mike
Just Do It. Practice. Try. Experiment. Fail. Take Action.
Collaboration. Not Dictation.
No one person has all the answers. Seek other perspectives. Ask questions.
Principles Over Practice
‘Why’ is more important than ‘How’. Learn the principles and then create the practice.
No Jerks Allowed
Nobody wants to work with a Jerk. Don’t be a Jerk.
Everyone Is a Jerk Sometimes
Everyone will act like a jerk sometimes. Forgive those who act like a jerk. If you act like a jerk, ask for forgiveness.
