Here are his Secrets to success:

  1. Passion – Do it for love and not money. The money the comes anyway.

  2. Work – It takes hard work with much fun.

  3. Focus – Practice, practice, practice.

  4. Persist – Through failure as well as Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and Pressure.

  5. Ideas – Listen, observe, be curious, ask questions, problem solve and make connections.

  6. Good – Get damn good at what you do.

  7. Push – Physically and mentally to overcome self-doubt, shyness, feelings of whether you are good or smart enough.
