1/ Rich Barton

Ideas are cheap. Execution is dear.

If you want to have a growing and vibrant organization you want to have big new opportunities in front of you.

You can have a great team of people, but if they’re fishing in the wrong spot they’re not going to catch any fish.
2/

A big dream and a clear vision, and a little bit of nuttiness are required to take something from an idea stage all the way to creating something valuable.

There is almost as much blood sweat and tears in building something small as there is in building something big.
3/ When I came out of heart surgery a few years ago the "get well" balloons in my room were from Rich Barton. Dude gets stuff done. I had low expectations that day since I figured most other people I knew were hoping I was dead.
4/ My last book (which has a chapter on Rich Barton) won a silver medal in the entrepreneur category.

The rumor is my book did not win gold since the Romanian judge (who at one time was an ice skating judge during the Cold War) has a grudge against me. axiomawards.com/83/2019-winners
