Why Crowded Coffee Shops Fire Up Your Creativity
The only problem with the results of this experiment is that you actually need to get out of your bathrobe, get dressed, and get out of the house.

Mr. Godin did not raise $170,000+ on Kickstarter in one day. It took him ten years. It took thousands of blog posts, a dozen books, and an audience — built by permission, one by one — that trusts him enough to take a chance that he’ll deliver.
