Sometimes I work so long and so hard that I have no idea what day or time it is. I forget to eat. I don't get ready for the day. I fall asleep on the couch and wake up and get back to work.

At the end of the day, if you have a great product and service paired with the wrong pricing strategy / business model, you don__ have a business.

Entrepreneurs don't have weekends or birthdays or holidays. Every day is my weekend, my birthday, my holiday. OR, every day is my work day. Mostly it's a choice.

Don't disregard your so-called "stupid ideas." They may be inspired thoughts and high-potential opportunities. Whatcha gonna do?

Pondering the legitimate modern day problem of intellectual bullies. Self-proclaimed smarties attacking the innocent. They revel in being politically correct, all-loving and open-minded while not applying these principles to themselves.The ultimate double standard in the name of truth and acceptance. It's sad.This is not a post about anyone in particular. This is an observation over years.Have you seen it? Call it out when you do.The offender won't know what to do because they know that you know their game.

Every book you've ever read on LEADERSHIP will finally make sense (and become practical) if you change the word "leader" to INFLUENCER.

Be a learning machine. What made you money last year, won't necessarily make you money this and next year.

If you think it's funny to make fun of the "used car salesman," you better only buy new and never sell your car. Just sayin.

People love to say, __ou gotta fake it till you make it._ But this implies that the fake you is someone better than who you inherently are, and this is simply not the truth. Let me say this loud and clear: the person you imagine yourself to be in the very best and most powerful moments of your life, is the authentic you. And in truth, I imagine you__e probably much more amazing even than that.

Live in a way that helps you lean into your fears, make a difference and live without regret.

If you're in business, all the content in the world will do you no good unless it leads to a sale.

It's not what you got, but what you gave.

Forest rangers see the forest differently. Likewise, entrepreneurs see the world differently.

The competition is out to get you. Are you a moving target or a sitting duck? Innovate or die.

We__e all scared.Yes, all of us. I__ afraid every day. If I__ not afraid, I must not be doing something I need to be doing. I believe that when you__e doing important work, you feel fear because you don__ want to fail. The challenge is to not let the fear stop you from doing the work that will enable you to achieve your goals. You need to recognize the fear for what it is and allow your __hy_ (your compelling vision) for what you__e doing be bigger than the fear itself.So where do you start? Identify your fears. As they say, "name it to tame it." Then, move forward.

Everyone loves the idea of "disruption" in business, but no one likes it when it happens to them.

Beware: If you egg people on, you'll get egg on your face.

Follow your passion and learn how to make money at it. Or don't follow your passion and learn to make money at that. They are the same. It's a choice.
