GSD Manifesto – 13 principles for Getting Shit Done
- Hustle – This means many things, but my definition is, going out into the world and working hard.
- Do Good Shit – Doing good things and being a good human being is essential. We were all put on this earth with literally billions of other people. If we help each other, life will just naturally be more comfortable, and more efficient. We will have more people in our corner. I can go on all day. Just do good shit!
- Work Smart & Hard – Working 80 hours a week doesn’t mean anything unless you are doing it smartly. You have to be making efficient decisions that save you time and energy but get a lot done.
- Innovate – Create. Create. CREATE. Always be making something.
- Create Change – Change happens if you make it happen. We live in a world that isn’t perfect, and it would be boring if it were perfect. Create change every day.
- Do What You Love – If you aren’t happy, then what are you doing?
- Think Big, Start Small – Have humongous dreams and aspirations but start small. Baby steps are necessary because without them, you won’t learn how to walk, then how to run. We must remember that we all started as an egg and a sperm. Now we are amazing humans.
- Stay Humble, Hustle Hard – Know that no matter how far you get, there is more to go. Celebrate those accomplishments and then get back in the game.
- Collaborate – Work with people. There are billions of us. If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you really want to go far, then let’s go Together!
- Make Magic – The formula for magic is [Happiness – Fear]. Take chances, create, be magic, MAKE MAGIC.
- Choose Yourself – You should put on your oxygen mask before helping those around you. Self-care isn’t selfish. If you’re good, then those around you will be good.
- Be Ambitious – You must be determined. Things won’t always go your way, they won’t always go well, and they won’t always be easy. But if you are ambitious and have a strong desire to achieve success, you WILL be successful!
- Love What You Do – Simple.
