Marketing without sales is dead.

How to uplift others. It__ not a pie, it__ a cake. It__ not a ladder, it__ a bridge.

LEADERSHIP is your org chart turned upside down.

To be humble is to be teachable. Meek, not weak. The most humble people are the most aggressive leaders. Aggressive because to be truly taught, is to sincerely do. To lead. To start. To achieve. Willingly and urgently doing the work to make change.

Mentors change lives, but students change mentors_ lives more.

Politics is not leadership. It never has been. It never will be.

The parents of politics are lack of control and seeking to control. The parents of leadership are influence and trust.

People who make big promises can also make big lies. Trust first, but exercise smart trust. You can be the most productive and most effective, but politics show up as ego and jealousy for bosses who can__ perform. If your job or task is codependent, you can be sabotaged. Always seek interdependence and people who are authentic at the core, not blue in the face.

Work-Life Freedom > Work-Life Balance

There is only one way to make money: sell something. You're either selling your time or a product. The secret? Productize your time. That's freedom.

Freedom on the inside comes when validation from the outside doesn__ matter.

Are you in love with your idea more than your reality? Change that.

Don__ let your day dreams become your personally living nightmare.

When the going gets tough, people bail. When the going gets easy, people get lazy. Honest, smart, hard work is the way to get results.

People with money tend to buy more things instead of experiences...because they don't have time.

Never mix negative thinking with negative people. Multiplying negatives, in this instance, won't make a positive.

QUIT = Quickly Uphold Important Things

Perfectionism is a disease. Procrastination is a disease. ACTION is the cure.
