30 Days of Genius- Tina Roth Eisenberg

Tina's words are in bold. My personal comments are in italics.

• What are you side projects?
• Side projects inspire creative work in themselves and in your main work. They are works of passion and interest. They force you to deal with constraints of time, money, and resources, but often come out with great results. Have side projects- it's fun and important to the world. And to yourself.

• Confidence is impressive, enthusiasm is infectious. Confidence is about yourself, enthusiasm is about something else.
• There are two ways to pitch an idea or inspire an audience. Always choose to intermingle enthusiasm into your confidence. Confidence could be more practical and unbiased, but it's enthusiasm that really gets others inspired to your dream. 

• The thing that’s hard is there to keep everybody else out, not to keep you out -CJ
• CHASE JARVIS DROPPING FIRE. You should be thrilled to do that hard things, because that means no one else is doing them. You are unstoppable because you are controlled by you. You can't speak for anyone else's will power or abilities- but you can always accomplish the hard thing.

• Stop complaining. Fix it, or let it go.
• Tina's advice? On point. If you find yourself complaining about something for extended periods of time, either devote the effort to fix it, or agree to let it go and move on with your life.
