"Look at Apple. Apple was once doing well then they started going down. So much so, that Microsoft had to bail them out with a 100 million dollars. And Microsoft didn't bail them out because they wanted to. If they didn't, they would have had anti-trust lawsuits. So, they put in a 100 million dollar investment to keep them around. And funny enough, look at Apple now, it's larger than Microsoft. When things go wrong, that also means that you can recover, as long as you're listening to people." Buy Me a Coffee.

"I believe in karma, in which, when I do good things to others, hopefully, it'll come around and good things will happen to me. It may not always work that way, but that's okay. Life is too short to burn bridges and try to screw other people over. When bad things happen, you know what? Just look at it, maybe they're in a better, hopefully by them messing you over put them in a better situation where they can live a better life. And here's what I mean by that." Buy Me a Coffee.

"Why not focus on just converting those visitors into customers. And you can do that by understanding what they're looking for. Why don't they like your website? Why are they leaving your website? Ask these questions. How else could you make your webpage better? How can you make your product or service better?" Buy Me a Coffee.

"When you're starting off, companies tend to get really messy because you may not take the time or energy or money to invest in proper legal counsel. A lot of people don't think it's necessary, they're like oh I'll fix it once we're doing well and we're making tons of money but at that point that's usually what causes the legal issues, when you don't have the proper documentation and then you start doing well."

"The beautiful part about marketing is it's not just about releasing your message and having people hear it and then trying to make some revenue or some sales. It's about getting to know your customers, connecting with them, relating to them on a one-on-one basis. And because of social media, I'm able to do that. Whether it's responding to YouTube comments and connecting with you or Facebook comments, or LinkedIn comments, or even if it's as simple as responding to my blog comments or getting an email from you guys, or getting a message through WhatsApp." Buy Me a Coffee.

"Now what I do use Instagram for, is to connect with my team members. I don't always go into the office, but I want to see what people are up to. So I enjoy following everyone who works at the company. At least the ones who want me to follow them. I look at their pictures, their status updates, it lets me comment, interact with them, engage. I do this over Instagram versus Facebook because for me; it's more personal. I've noticed that people post more personal stuff on their Instagram than they do on Facebook. I love it because I'm getting to know my team members." Buy Me a Coffee.

Although that's true in certain communities and environments like in San Francisco, it's not true everywhere. If you want to succeed, the sad reality is, people will judge you for things that you may not like. Now, you could be one of those people that are like, and I'm not going to conform to it, I don't care what people think, I'm going to do me. And if that's your attitude, by all means, you should do it. If you don't want to change, you don't have to. But I did an interesting little experiment when I used to live in Las Vegas.

Go ask the person who's a fitness or certified in nutrition, nutrition information. Go ask me marketing information. Look at who you're getting advice from. The person needs to be in your field before you take their advice seriously. I'm not saying you shouldn't hear 'em out. I'm just saying, double think or double, you should question at least the advice that they're giving and go ask someone who's in the industry the same question to see what they say. And if they say the same thing, cool. Now you have two people giving you advice and you should go and execute on it. Buy Me a Coffee.

Get up, get out of your rear and actually do work. Just because you're the smartest person in the world, you're reading everything, doesn't mean you're gonna be successful. So instead of just trying to read everything, read something and then take what you've read and applied it. That application part, where you're applying it, is the most important part.

Some people give the cheesy response of their parents and I admire my parents. I love them. Some people give the cheesy response of the Elon Musk or the Warren Buffets or the Bill Gates because that's who are well-known and they're doing amazing things. I'm not saying I don't admire em. But when it comes to who do I admire the most, I honestly don't know the answer to who that is. I do know what kind of people I admire the most, but I don't know who they are. Buy Me a Coffee.
