We are leaving the industrial economy and entering the connection economy.

Good marketers tell a story.

No one ever gets talker's block. No one wakes up in the morning, discovers he has nothing to say, and sits quietly, for days or weeks, until the muse hits, until the moment is right, until all the craziness in his life has died down.

Being a leader gives you charisma. If you look and study the leaders who have succeeded, that's where charisma comes from, from the leading.

The key to success is to find a way to stand out--to be the purple cow in a field of monochrome Holsteins.

Average feels safe but it's not. It's invisible.

If you think your organization needs a bigger marketing budget, maybe you just need to be less average instead.
