“your number-one job is to tell your story to the consumer wherever they are, and preferably at the moment they are deciding to make a purchase.”
― Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy World

“The job is what you do when you are told what to do. The job is showing up at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed.
Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.
The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it's a job.
Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.
I call the process of doing your art 'the work.' It's possible to have a job and do the work, too. In fact, that's how you become a linchpin.
The job is not the work.”
― Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?
