What if the smartest people in the world understand something that the rest of us don’t? (They do.)
What if they know that in order to achieve success, they will sometimes have to do things that others may initially perceive as stupid? The fact of the matter is that the smartest people in the world don’t run from stupid, they lean into it (in a smart way).
In The Power of Starting Something Stupid, Richie Norton redefines stupid as we know it, demonstrating that life-changing ideas are often tragically mislabeled stupid. What if the key to success, creativity, and fulfillment in your life lies in the potential of those stupid ideas? This deeply inspiring book will teach you:
How to crush fear, make dreams happen, and live without regret.
How to overcome obstacles such as lack of time, lack of education, or lack of money.
The 5 actions of the New Smart to achieve authentic success.

'I don’t do book reviews normally, but yesterday a trusted friend introduced me to Richie and I’m pretty sure it was providential. This book spoke to me at just the right time. You see, I’ve been working on a post about fear. Thought I had the perfect title, too – No Fear: What Are You Afraid Of? The irony is, of course, that I was afraid to post this post.'Richie Norton spoke at the annual #L2E conference and 'absolutely blew our minds.'
Don't wait. Start stuff. @RichieNorton has “written a book about courage. The courage to do work that matters and to do it with your heart and your soul. Go make something happen.”

We are all dazzled by the notion that there are some people who get ahead, who reach the corner office because they are simply gifted, or well-connected, or both.
But research shows that we far overvalue talent and intellectual ability in our culture.
The fact is, so many people get ahead--even the gifted ones--because they worked incredibly hard, put in the thousands of hours of practice and extra sweat equity, and made their own luck. And Linda and Robin should know--they are two girls from the Bronx who had no special advantages or privileges and rose up through their own hard work and relentless drive to succeed to the top of their highly competitive profession.— Grit to Great.
