“Sometimes quietly taking the credit can advertise you and your ability in a much louder way than telling everyone that you were the one that did it.”

“Managing to follow through for a day is good. But, managing to follow through every day, for days, weeks and months creates authentic and consistent results.”

“All the drive in the world is worthless if you are driving yourself off a cliff. Match the motivation, determination and drive with education, organization, and implementation to cross the finish line.”

“It is not your fans or your customers’ job to market you. Stop treating them like it is.”

“The honor of your presentation, execution, experience, and growth will do much more for you and your career over false claims that have no substance yet.”

“Stop spending money to be nominated for worthless awards with no substance and no worth to your career. If you have to spend money to be nominated for an award and then spend the time to push all your friends and fans to vote for you to win that award, it is not worth it and it is not going to help you in anyway whatsoever in the long run.”

“Before you tell people to check you out with hopes that they will write a check to you for your services… Check yourself. Check your references. Check your claims. Allow all those checks to be cashed in truth. Bad results from those bad checks highlighting overdrawn, unsubstantiated and unproven hype will keep you in a negative balance with your reputation and financial situation.”

“Just because someone emailed you does not make it an invitation to add them to your email list. Show a greater respect to those connected with you to grow greater engaged numbers. And the excuse of ‘they can just unsubscribe’ is pretty petty & awfully unprofessional.”

“Mix in consideration with your determination in the conversations or emails you start or send during solicitation.”

“Publishing a book does not make you an authority or an expert. Authorship doesn’t not equal authority.”

“Sharing pictures of yourself in front of houses you don’t own, standing by cars you don’t drive, and holding money that isn’t yours as you lie that it is, only sets you up for questions you can’t answer and a completely false foundation.”

“Effective branding comes down to creating a sense of comfort, recognition, and trust in your engagement, your message, and your products. It is more about the content and message than the logo and the colors.”

“Are you selling with soul or do you come off like you are selling your soul? If people only see you selling your expertise all the time, without experiencing elements of you sharing the expertise and knowledge you have, then what reason are you giving them to trust you or buy? ”
