I'll save everyone 20 minutes of their life. Be creative. Be flexible. Master economics and market trends. Control the flow of money. Take pride in changing the world.

Love these three points (i) Entrepreneurs are like warriors (she didn't use the word warrior but that is my interpretation).They are ready to live abnormal life - not necessarily balanced life (ii) They see what is coming - future technology (iii) Stop worrying about money - capital follows ideas.

Really appreciated Ms. Meyer's comments on the "network orientation" of business. It's a fundamental idea that doesn't get said enough. No business exists in a vacuum--both clients and other businesses need to be viewed as such.

I love how watching this video right now is like watching Julie Meyer speaking prophesy.

One of the most insightful TED talks I have ever seen! The Killer line: "I always thought that the Achilles Heel of Google would be offering economic value for the usage of people's data." This is a game changing line if you are interested in software or website creation.

This is a good simplified presentation of the impact and meaning of technological change.
