Neil's words are in bold. My personal comments are in italics.
- You don’t know if it’s good. You just know that you made it.
- You can't critique your own work as well as the rest of the world can. You don't know if it's good or bad. It's simply yours. Release it, and see what comes of it.
- You throw a pebble in a culture and you don’t know where the ripples are gonna go. The question is- are you going to throw it.
- Taking risks is important to you and to the world. Risk-taking ensures that you're making a difference. What that difference becomes is always a mystery. But that the difference exists is reliant on your risk taking.
- Don’t share it until you think it's good. If you’re sharing something that you know is imperfect, you’re losing your opportunity for valuable feedback
- This is a clarification on the common entrepreneurship trope of 'release as early as possible.' Put out good work, not bare bones work. This does not mean to wait until it is perfect- just until you are happy with it.
- Lock yourself in a room. Remove all distractions. Remove all excuses.
- So much of procrastination is self-imposed distraction. Phones ring. Internet gets exciting. Friends say hi. If you remove all of these and set rules for yourself- like the writing 20 pages before getting your freedom from your self-imposed cell- you'll find that creating is less daunting than it seems.
- Money can’t buy happiness, but experiences can. And money can buy experiences.
- Money isn't evil. It should be sought after, but for the right reasons. Not for the sake of money, for the sake of opportunities.
