“I’m a big fan of intention. That’s because I have learned first-hand the power of setting my intention on my goal and making all decisions based off of that intention.”

Instead of telling a story about how great your brand is, try telling a story that shows you completely understand and empathize with your customer and their life.

Social media is not the place to work out your problems with people.

Effective networking isn’t a result of luck – it requires hard work and persistence.

Each day, we have the opportunity to learn something new, apologize for our mistakes, and become better.

The more confident you are, the less doubt you will have, and the more likely your success will be.

I believe passion is the sword of love that pierces through the wall of fears that hold us back.

Everyone can benefit from seeing smart marketing.

One of the most powerful networking practices is to provide immediate value to a new connection. This means the moment you identify a way to help someone, take action.

The more content you share, the more opportunity people have to see it and engage with it.

I have learned that champions aren’t just born; champions can be made when they embrace and commit to life-changing positive habits.

It’s almost always easier to sell to an existing customer base than to find a new one.

The people and opportunities your business needs are out there, but the only way to uncover them is to take an active role in bringing your social network to life.

Unfortunately, the higher you climb in social media, the more people will want to throw stones at you. But don’t retaliate publicly.

Recognizing poor leadership is a vital skill to help you achieve greatness.

The ability to network successfully can be one of the greatest assets in business. It allows some people to find incredible opportunities, while others just watch from the sidelines.

It took a lot of time and constant feedback to realize what wasn’t working in my life, and it will be an ongoing journey until the day I die.

Not any specific one, but I was a huge fan of Frank Jacobs, I guess he wrote the plurality of the song parodies for MAD, Sam Hart, a few others, but that was also where I was first exposed to the art form of song parodies.

I’m a music fan, and I can listen to the radio, or music, without thinking, “How am I going to screw this up?” [Laughs] If I’m really actively trying to think of a parody, then I’ll have my antenna out, and be a little more proactive about it.

I was a huge fan of ‘Mad’ magazine when I was 11, 12, 13 years old. I’d scour used bookstores trying to find back issues, and I’d wait at the newsstand for a new issue to come out. My life revolved around it.

The window doesn’t open, the fan is broke, and my face is turning blue. I haven’t been in a crowd like this since I went to see the Who.

Every obnoxious fan has a wife at home that dominates him.

It bothers me that the average fan, the average sportswriter for that matter, pays so much attention to what’s in a box score.

As a kid growing up, I was so in sync as a fan that that served me well through the years. I can feel the game.

It adds a little action and gives the fans something to look at rather than the monotonous routine, no matter how perfectly the play is made.
