We can either accept that this is the state of our audience and plan appropriately…

Or do the very difficult work of changing their state.

As organizations become increasingly dependent on interconnected digital systems, the boundaries between communications, computing infrastructure, virtualization, software development, and artificial intelligence are becoming less distinct. For smaller technology firms, that environment can create an unusual challenge: customers may need expertise across several technical layers at once, while the systems themselves continue to become more specialized. […]

I don’t believe we’re each born with a purpose. We have more freedom than that, the freedom to choose the impact we’ll make.

Our work, though, does have a purpose. The change we seek to make. The people we’re here to make it for.

When we commit to work with purpose, it transforms us as well as the people we’re engaging with.

Who’s it for, what’s it for… if we can continue to return to the purpose of this product, this meeting, this ad–then we can find a common language and coordinate our efforts to make a difference.

Resistance pushes us in many ways. It pushes us to imagine that our work isn’t for us, we’re just biding time until we get to the real stuff. It pushes us to deny responsibility or to blame the system. And mostly, it pushes us to refuse to name the purpose of how we’re spending our time.

I want to make the art I have in my head, and I want the market to love it.

I want to have the wedding of my dreams, and I don’t want to worry about money, and I want my cousins and friends to enjoy every bit of it.

I want to take few risks and I want extraordinary returns.

I want to have a difficult conversation and I want there to be no tension, stress or possible downsides.

We hesitate to admit what we really want because when the ‘and’ shows up, we can see we’re being unreasonable. It’s easier to simply hope and dream.

Strategic thinking doesn’t ignore the systems all around us, or the trade-offs that scarcity and competition require. Instead, it embraces them.
