General Patton’s philosophies may have made him just as controversial as he was successful on the violent battlefields of World War II. He does have a point, though: Some people do spend ghastly amounts of time planning instead of executing. Perfection-standard thinking may produce wonderfully complex schemes, but perhaps at the cost of losing time-sensitive opportunities. So, if you think that’s great advice, stop mulling it over and order this inspirational Patton poster or t-shirt now!

Alec Baldwin said in Glengarry Glen Ross..."Always Be Closing!" But for true software developers who love their craft we say he got it wrong and prefer "Always Be Coding!" That’s assuming, of course, that your code does not suck. If so, that might be an ok time to stop…seriously. Stop. #SexyHackers

Most GOOD programmers code not because they expect to get paid, but because it is fun to program. Luckily for us the world is full of greedy people who's only passion for software development is the big paycheck they think they will get. This of course means that you'll get to spend your entire work day fixing their crappy code. So for the love of God if your code sucks just stop coding right now... seriously turn your computer off and go home.

Haward Schutz, Chairman / CEO of Starbucks

They say that history repeats itself. We should never forget what the past has taught us, but we should challenge its ways when it is trying to repeat itself. The results will never change if we don't do something to make the change possible.

Blake Mycoskie, Toms Shoes

Razzle, dazzles, and sparkle the world with amazement through your ideas and through your actions. Someday, you will amaze yourself in just how much you have changed the world around you.

Tanner Christensen, Self-Employed

We learn by exploring new things, using our senses to learn as we go. If we don't explore and examine our findings, we won't learn anything. So don't just sit there, get out, explore, and learn new things!

We often ask new business owners what their 3 year plan is and they respond with, "I’m going to graduate from my business incubator and then sell my company to Facebook or Google for millions." They have no desire to run a company, they just want to get rich fast and get out. That's why we say "Business Incubators Are For Sellouts."

Don't be someone who only starts a business to sell it down the road. Start a business to fulfil a need.

As Lance Armstrong could probably tell you, cancer sucks balls. Except without the “s” since he only has one now, because of the big “C”. Or Marvel Comic’s legendary anti-hero Wade Wilson, A.K.A Deadpool, was also quoted saying cancer is a “sh*t-show.” While some cope with the illness using humor, that does not take away from the fight of men, women, and children are having everyday with any variety of this deadly disease. Show your support with this canvas.

Jason Brethorst, Founder of More Than Rewards

You are one of the influences on your work environment which means that it can be negative or positive. Every day it's up to you to determine how things are going to go. Lead with stellar attitude.

Carlos Alberto Sicupira, Anheuser-Busch & H.J. Heinz & Company

There are a few drawbacks to cutting costs, like when is the appropriate time to do it, and what are you going to cut. Make sure that when you are doing your evaluation and are making good choices for you, your employees, and your customers

For a man who made a living hitting people in the head, he also touched men in the heart with beautiful, inspirational quotes like this one. He may have been a martial artist, but he was a fighter in a whole different way.

Being a fighter doesn’t always involve fists. It means never giving up.

Dennis Crowley, Co-Founder of Foursquare

Don't worry about what other people think or say. Your ideas are yours and only you can determine whether they are bad, okay, or pursuable.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook

Picture this: you’re at a restaurant, you’ve been waiting for your food, and you are absolutely starving! (You’ve ordered drinks loaded with garnishes to soothe your appetite.) At this point, you would rather receive your meal regardless of its presentation. You don’t need a pretty plate; you need sustenance before those Bloody Mary’s hit your blood stream.

The infamous Mark Zuckerberg, said, “Done is better than perfect.” Sometimes, immediate action is more important than a “perfect” finished product.

You didn't learn to walk over night. You leaned on things, you fell over, but you kept on trying! Never give in, get back up and try again.

When something you do fails. Do not give up. Learn from the mistake and keep trying till you get it right.

Never give up on what you start. Always finish. Complete your goals. 

You will never get credit for the things you started, if you never finish them. Get organized and try completing some of your goals before you add new ones to the list.

Betaworks | Don't stress over it. Just ship it!

Being a perfectionist can cause great delay in completing the task at hand. Let go of the reigns, sit back, and enjoy the ride called completion.

We've all been to restaurants that are so-so. Don't own that place. Own the place across the street that has amazing food, amazing customer service, amazing everything. Amazing!

It's okay to be different. Challenge others. Break the mold. Do not be like everyone else.

Aaron Levie, CEO/Co-founder of Box

One cannot expect to be productive if one is a couch potato. Get up, get on your feet, and experience life! As Aaron Levie put ever so nicely, "Get shit done."

This idea worked in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Nick Fury sought out the right people, brought them together and gave them purpose. Then he turned them loose to become the Avengers and save the world. Just saying, if it worked for superheroes, that’s a pretty solid strategy.

Sure there were multiple confrontations in the movie. Iron Man and Captain America bickered almost the entire time, like an old, married couple. And Hulk punched Thor in the face, knocking him right out of the frame. So much violence at the start, but then they all bonded into best buds. They even reassembled for a sequel with new characters and more inter-group fighting; it was awesome. Long story short: get the right people and you will have long-lasting success.

Steve Jobs, Founder of Apple

What exactly are your goals in life, and what are you doing to improve them? Positive vibes in the office will allow for better products and overall better results.

For all those crazy Store Managers out there that aren't just crazy because it's their job, but crazy because they freaking love it!

Do you work in retail and have to manage a bunch of crazy people who are slowly sucking the life out of you? Well this shirt is for you!  We hope you wear it with pride because being a store manager will make you crazy and if you're not crazy yet you soon will be.  #ReTale

Steve Jobs, Founder of Apple

The customer may not always be right, but in the long run, they are the boss and what they suggest, should be taken into strong consideration. After all, they're the ones that keep you in business.

Jeff Bezos, Founder/CEO of Amazon Inc

Being criticized is one of our biggest fears. But if we don't stand our ground and allow ourselves to be criticized, then we will never allow ourselves to improve or succeed. It's impossible to please everyone, so make your decision count and take the criticism from others as kind suggestions and perhaps a touch of jealousy that they didn't come up with the idea first.

You get up every morning and give the world your 110%. Right up until the final hour of work. You can feel your battery draining and you begin to power down. Counting the minutes until your escape. Now, all you want is to get home for some solitary, quiet time; recharge with a cold beer and some Grade-B movie on cable because tomorrow you have to wake up and do this all over again...wait. Tomorrow's Saturday? Then never mind, let's rage!

Steve Jobs, Founder of Apple

Just when you think you've finished the task at hand, you realize there's a vital piece of information missing, sure sometimes that's called scope creep but we say... Until your product ships and customers start using it, it's not done! Keep innovating and improving your product to the very last minute.

Is your design work getting you down? Well, do what Dory says from Finding Nemo and, "Just keep designing. Just keep designing. Just keep designing." #GetInspired

No matter what is going on, Just Keep Designing. When life or customers get difficult, Just Keep Designing! Power through and do not give up until you reach or surpass your goal.

Having a hard time at work? Well, do what Dory says from Finding Nemo and, "Just keep selling. Just keep selling. Just keep selling." #GetInspired

No matter what is going on, Just Keep Selling. When life or customers get difficult, Just Keep Selling! Power through and do not give up until you reach or surpass your goal.

Jason Goldberg, Founder and CEO of Fab.com

The boss calls a meeting in the middle of the day and after an hour of sitting around and being talked at, the employees go back to their desks and complete... nothing. Stop interrupting the work flow and let the working minds stay at work.

Attention all you caffeine-guzzling, coffee addicts. Raise your ceramic mugs and travel thermoses to cheers this new addition to your home décor. Before your morning coffee, it might feel like a heavy metal band is screaming in your head, but all you need is that first sip. Celebrate your morningly crazing. It’s sure to perk up your whole day.

Always keep improving your products and designs. Do not settle for mediocrity.

A movie producer doesn't just record the perfect movie in one shot. They take multiple shots and multiple views, followed by months of editing to get the desired end result. They fine tune the things that they like and make it even better by putting it all together and sharing it with the world.

Paul Graham, Co-Founder of Viaweb & Y Combinator

If you make something people already have, they are not likely to be interested in your product. Be innovative and make something unique that people want, and you will be very successful indeed.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook

Moving at a consistent and constant fast pace will allow you complete your work in a timely manner. When things break, it will be that much easier to pick up the pieces and repair it without others even noticing that there was a bump in the road. 

Never give up! Never stop trying to reach your goals. Do not give up!

You didn't learn to cut with a scissors perfectly the first time you did it, so you kept practicing and you got better. The same is true with the rest of life, you have to keep on practicing in order to improve on what you are trying to learn and accomplish.

Do you work in an office like Jerry Heller but secretly you really are an American Gangsta like N.W.A. members Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren and DJ Yella?

If the answer is yes, then we recommend you get this canvas art print and hang it up in your office to tell the world you don't play. While you kick back and refuse to be a sukka working for THE MAN listen to the NWA movie biopic Straight outta Compton sound track and sip a little "Gin And Juice". #eCulture

This work of art was inspired by the 1988, groundbreaking new group NWA who revolutionizes music and pop culture, changing and influencing hip-hop forever. N.W.A's first studio album, "Straight Outta Compton," stirs controversy with its brutally honest depiction of life in Southern Los Angeles

Elon Musk, Founder and CEO Tesla & SpaceX

Each individual has their way of thinking about something. In the long run, it doesn't matter which way you think about it, so long as the job gets done!

Paul Chen

This one is more difficult to decipher. Things fail all the time, but the fact of the matter is, our passion never fails. It may not always work out the exact way we expected it to, but it never fails us.

John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer of Pixar

Would you buy your own product? Why? If you wouldn't buy your own product, why would anyone else. Raise your standards to meet the needs and demands of yourself and others. After all, quality is the best business plan.

Jason Goldberg, CEO of Fab

The fact of the matter is that no matter how hard we try, there are some circumstances in life that are out of our control. By being the leader in the things you can control, you can become the leader in the things you cannot control.

Set goals you know you can reach, which will give you a sense of satisfaction in a job done well.

By setting smaller, practical goals, you will feel more productive and actually become more productive. One step at a time and you will get to where you are going.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook

Letting every little detail stop you in your tracks demonstrates that your success may be lacking. Stay focused on the goal and reach it by sending off the final product.

Jason Brethorst, Founder of More Than Rewards

Being a perfectionist can be a good thing but when it is stopping you from completing the task at hand it's time to step away and just be done. If that one pixel isn't going to make a difference in the end result, it's time to move on.

Store Managers are freakin' awesome. Because let's face it, being a store manager is awesome because you can't be called "Freakin' Awesome" as a job title.

The more time spent on fine tuning every last detail, the more opportunity you allow your competitors to come out with similar items. Stop being so picky and show the world what you've got!

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook

Instead of adding candles, extra code, or more art, try streamlining by taking things away. Minimize the distractions that are offered so friends, co-workers, or customers can enjoy and appreciate the cleanliness of your home, work place, or products.

Thomas Edison, Inventor

Sometimes the best rules to live by are no rules at all. When you are trying to excel in something, don't let the rules and regulations stop you from being creative.

Jason Brethorst, Founder of More Than Rewards

Just when you think things couldn't get any worse, your boss assigns you another project on top of the 30 you already have and they are all the highest priority... Don't forget that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. All it takes is a simple smile to change one's perspective of the day.

Jason Fried, Co-Founder of 37Signals

The 'little people' in the company have just as much, if not more, to contribute that some of the 'biggest people'. Don't withdraw yourself or exclude others just because they don't have the loudest voice in the room to shout out their ideas with.

The fact of the matter is you are not the boss; your customer is the boss. The more you reach into the customer's mind and see what they want, the better you'll be able to successfully meet their needs.

Tom Peters, Author and Speaker

When the demands are high and you know not everything is possible, you might tell the customer to not expect much. The customer will be ever so surprised and pleased when more of the final product is what they wanted than what they were expecting.

Tina Fey, Actress

Don't just stand there picking your nose! Get moving and get some results! Problems don't fix themselves.

Jack Dorsey, Founder of Twitter & Square

To be efficient in what you do, you have to determine what elements are necessary and which are "bonus features". Focus in on the major components to streamline your products.

Happy, C2C Feat. Derek Martin

You will never experience success if you don't make any attempts to be creative. Get off the depressing couch and do something!
