“Relationships are leverage. If you give value to someone else first, you have leverage.”

It’s very logical: There is proven ROI in doing whatever you can to turn your customers into advocates for your brand or business. The way to create advocates is to offer superior customer service.

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.

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.

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.

I do plan my study day. I think that prioritizing is absolutely critical. It is so critical that you understand what is important and what can be left undone. Then you will base your schedule on your priorities. You’ve got to be single-minded about your priorities.

God is not in a hurry to fix us. Our behavior is not his first priority. We are his first priority. Loving us, knowing us, affirming us, protecting us. That is his top goal and his main concern.

There are so many needs in the world, and our hearts cannot carry them all. You must walk to the priorities God has set before you.

I love what I do professionally, I’m really blessed. But my priority is my husband and my children.

If your activities don’t match your priorities, you are wasting your life.

Sometimes you can’t prioritise family and you feel guilty.
