Own your projects

Instead of trying to grow at all costs.

Instead of trying to build the next biggest thing.

Instead of trying to change the world from the beginning.

Start with something small. Something sustainable. Water it. Let it grow on its own.

If you can figure out how to do something with less work than has been done before but still delivers the same value, you should do more of that.

Most of all, you should own it.

Own the project you're working on.

Eventually you'll create your own style. Put it into it. Make it yours.

Say to the world, "Hey, I made this."

That's how it starts. That's how it all starts. Nothing begins how you see it talked about.

The best creations are years of effort distilled into their simplest form.
