I am sucker for Seth Godin's books and essays.
Poke the Box is his recent manifesto about starting.
I know I know. I am not going to listen to you, lol.
I just love reading and re-reading his books for the insightful stories he shares and how short and pithy he keeps it. But mind you, if you are looking for a how-to book, this isn't for you. There are other books of his, that do a better job at that. This is sort of like a poster, you can stare at and ruminate about what you are going to start..now.
In his own words:
Starting a project, making a ruckus, taking what feels like a risk.
Not just, "I'm starting to think about it" or "we're going to meet on this", or even "I filed a patent application..."
No, starting.
Going beyond the point of no return.
Leaping.
Committing.
Making something happen.
The job isn't to catch up to the status quo. The job is to invent the status quo.
