Quotables
“It's not confidence that allows me to launch (something new). It's that if it doesn't work, I'll try something else.”—JS
“Well-placed confidence says, listen, I've been through this before. I don't know if it's going to be successful, but I'm confident that I'm going to do my best to make this work.”—RM
“What is the market telling me…is this thing I created not selling at this price? What am I learning from that? And how do you build a system around it?”—JS
“It's hysterical how those checklists save us time, but they engineer confidence. Because you can focus on what's important vs. the miscellaneous stuff that has to get done.”—RM
“If you have to learn the lesson every time…you're not engineering any confidence in your process.”—JS
“When it comes to selling, you want to absolutely systematize every possible thing.”—RM
“You’ve already burned the creative energy to come up with a really good way to say this—why reinvent the wheel?”—JS
