“I always say that the real success of Wine Library wasn’t due to the videos I posted, but to the hours I spent talking to people online afterward, making connections and building relationships.”

If your organization’s intentions transcend the mere act of selling a product or service, and it is brave enough to expose its heart and soul, people will respond. They will connect. They will like you. They will talk. They will buy.

Brands mature over time, like a marriage. The bond you feel with your spouse is different than when you first met each other. Excitement and discovery are replaced by comfort and depth.

All your ideas may be solid or even good .. But you have to Actually EXECUTE on them for them to matter.

If you know exactly what you want to be, you need to spend as much time as possible with people who are actually that already.

What you do after you create your content is what truly counts.

It’s not about what you’re saying, it’s about how you listen.

It’s not how many followers you have, it’s how many care. It’s not width, it’s depth. It’s not how many impressions you get, it’s how much attention you get.

Great marketing is all about telling your story in such a way that it compels people to buy what you are selling.

Hustling is putting every minute and all your effort into achieving the goal at hand.

No relationships should be taken for granted. They are what life is all about, the whole point. How we cultivate our relationships is often the greatest determinant of the type of life we get to live.

Market like the year you are in.

True success – financial, personal, and professional – lies above all in loving your family, working hard, and living your passion. In telling your story. In authenticity, hustle, and patience. In caring fiercely about the big and the small stuff. In valuing legacy over currency.

The truth is that finding happiness in what you do every day is so imperative.

Someone with less passion and talent and poorer content can totally beat you if they’re willing to work longer and harder than you are. Hustle is it.

The best marketing strategy ever: CARE

Do what makes you happy. Keep it simple. Do the research. Work hard. Look ahead.

Friendships are discovered rather than made.

Every single day we’re cultivating a spirit!

Big things are built one brick at a time. Victories are achieved one choice at a time. A life well lived is chosen one day at a time.

Yet the ivory gods, And the ebony gods, And the gods of diamond-jade, Are only silly puppet gods That people themselves Have made.

My gratification in working comes from the preparation and the building of the character.

We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves.

Single men never have any problems. I suppose that the public builds some kind of idea from what they’ve seen of me on the screen.

Together we will build an America where hope is a new job with a paycheck, not a faded word on an old bumper sticker.
