An organization's capabilities reside in two places. The first is in its processes — the methods by which people have learned to transform inputs of labor, energy, materials, information, cash, and technology into outputs of higher value.

They just find a few processes that make them money, and they execute and optimize those processes daily. Success comes from doing boring, useful things over and over again. Simplicity and consistency get results.

When Kobe Bryant said his insane level of confidence came from knowing he’d done all he could to prepare, it taught me that anytime I feel nervous, it meant I didn’t prepare enough.

"The world is a malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.”
