The essence of marketing today is to tell a story to people who want to hear it, in a way that resonates with them so they are likely to either respond or connect to you, or tell their friends.

One key to moving forward is knowing what to leave behind.

Too often, we don't give people the opportunity to fill in the blanks.

Your positions on EVERYTHING are based on the story you tell yourself and not some universal fact from the universal fact database.

Whining isn't a scalable solution.

Your peer group are people with similar dreams, goals and worldviews. They are people who will push you in exchange for being pushed, who will raise the bar and tell you the truth. They're not in your business, but they're in your shoes. Finding a peer group and working with them, intentionally and on a regular schedule, might be the single biggest boost your career can experience.

Skepticism doesn't help you hear.
