“Hustle is waking up the day before you die and realising you gave it your all.”

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.

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.

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.

Storytelling is by far the most underrated skill in business.

For business, our internet love affair was a gift from the gods.

Skills are cheap. Passion is priceless.

I influence anybody who is able to get through the chaos of my first impression.

Make every decision based on your last years of life instead of your next 10.

If you do not care about your end user immensely, especially in the next few years, your brand will die.

I am grateful for being alive today. It is my joy and pleasure to live another wonderful day.

Great opportunities may come once in a lifetime, but small opportunities surround us every day.

Life begins now — right now — not tomorrow or the next day or the next. Every minute of every hour of every day, life begins anew. That means everything can change in an instant. It also means you can have a new beginning whenever you want.

My God, I think about way back in the day when we were running around in Mary Janes and Doc Martens, that whole 90210-inspired look. I’m glad that’s long gone.

You love me some days I’m honestly sure of it. You think I haven’t noticed and I’ll pretend I didn’t. You love me somedays and that’s okay with me.

Morning mist like a blanket to dawn, obscures the hope of a new day. Yet the sunrises high, and the blanket falls and hope returns to the stage.

Those who keep speaking about the sun while walking under a cloudy sky are messengers of hope, the true saints of our day.

I still hold hollow hopes for the day, my heart keeps it beat whenever I hear your name.
