1. Great Artist Steal.

Nothing is original. Every New Idea Is Just A Mashup Or A Remix Of One Or More Previous Ideas. Once we understand that nothing is completely original, we'll feel a heavy burden lifted off ours shoulders. This mean anyone can become a creative person. We just simply need to find great resources that inspire us to do something great. Great resources to steal from. We just need to Steal like an artist.

3. "Fake It Till You Make It"

I think by faking it, Austin doesn't mean you have to lie about everything you do. You just have to keep your things secret until you get the work done. And we all have read this fancy qoute on internet hundreds of time "Work in silence and let your succes make your noise" (haha). Both are kinda similar. Its a pretty good (but tthat's probably not gonna work in every scenario).
