“A restaurant that’s too small for its following creates pent-up demand and can thrive as it lays plans to expand.
A restaurant that’s too big merely fails.
There are occasional counterexamples of ventures that fail because they were too small when they gained customer traction. But not many.
It pays to have big dreams but low overhead.”
– Seth Godin

“I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.”

“Often, people with a Scarcity Mentality harbor secret hopes that others might suffer misfortune – not terrible misfortune, but acceptable misfortune that would keep them “in their place.” They’re always comparing, always competing. They give their energies to possessing things or other people in order to increase their sense of worth. They want other people to be the way they want them to be. They often want to clone them, and they surround themselves with “yes” people – people who won’t challenge them, people who are weaker than they.” – Stephen R. Covey Daily Calendar for Highly Effective People (March 10th)
“Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.”

“Just because you have a supply (a skill, an inventory, a location) that doesn’t necessarily mean you are entitled to demand.
The market decides what it wants.
You can do your best to influence that choice, but it’s never (alas) based on what you happen to already have.
There’s a reason that garage sale prices tend to be pretty low.
We could get pretty self-involved on supply, forgetting that nothing works without demand.”
– Seth Godin
“People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you’ve figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence. Don’t be shy or feel intimidated by the experience. You may face some unexpected criticism, but be prepared for it with confidence.” – Jack Canfield
