The Power of Starting Something Stupid Richie Norton Shadow Mountain 2013 978-1-60907-009-0 English Motivation and Inspiration .epub |
“The Power of Starting Something Stupid teaches one of the truths that I have found in life and business: whenever I think something is a totally genius idea, it is not, and when I take a chance to do something that may seem like it will turn into nothing, that’s when things turn out to be successful. So many great, successful ideas started as a whim—as something stupid. Because of this, I just keep trying. I just keep putting things out there. I just keep taking chances, even though they scare me.”
—Gina Bianchini, CEO of Mightybell.com; cofounder of Ning.com
“Sometimes a book shines a light on a topic in such a unique way that you find yourself slapping your forehead and saying to yourself, ‘Now that’s simply brilliant! Why have I never thought of it that way before?’ And then you keep reading, and discover more and more ‘stupidly brilliant’ insights. This book makes you look forward to starting something stupid. That’s the genius of it. If success in life is a goal of yours, you’d be smart to read this book ASAP.”
—Robert G. Allen, author of the New York Times bestsellers Nothing Down, Creating Wealth, Multiple Streams of Income, and The One Minute Millionaire
“There’s magic to this book: ideas which seem to be stupid often turn out to be brilliant—they only looked stupid because we hadn’t seen them before, and it took courage for their creators to stick to their visions and bring them to light. Learning to curate, cultivate, and play with ideas that others don’t understand (or are openly critical of!) is a hallmark of great innovators. Richie helps us to realize that fear of looking stupid can stop us from participating fully in life and from finding significant ways to help others. By showing us how this ‘stupid to brilliant’ pattern is at the heart of continuous innovation and renewal, he encourages us to trust ourselves and to bring our own unique contributions to our homes, our communities, our workplaces, and the world.”
