Posted in Lists, Thoughts by nickfell on November 28, 2008

My 10 pence:

1. Stand for something bigger than your day-to-day business

2. Be nice

3. Respect the power of good design

4. Nurture what you’re best at…

5. …but experiment lots too

6. Weave a compelling story

7. Nudge, don’t force

8. Love your fans

9. Build recombinance into what you do

10. Have fun
