“The more you engage and connect, the more engagements and connections you will have.”

“Keep the momentum while you are moving to guarantee additional motion and momentum.”

“Are you joining a conversation or taking it over? Stay aware of how you join a conversation and of your effect on a conversation.”

“Try holding yourself accountable to yourself. If you had to give yourself a daily, weekly, or monthly report, would you be proud to talk about what you had done, or would you need to be prettying up things, bullshitting, or lying to keep your job?”

“Calling for change and being part of making change are two very different things. Stop calling for change and be a part of making the change you want to see.”

“You can want, wish, and dream all day, but those that prepare, work, learn, practice, and problem-solve are the ones that find success in sports, business, music, or whatever. Back up what you want with doing the work it takes to get it.”

“Choose those you give your trust to carefully. Be caring; be loving; be creative. But also be careful.”

“It’s not about the amount of time you put in, it is the way you spend the time on the work you need to get done. Saying that you worked ten hours on something that went nowhere is not really anything to brag about.”

“Playing the blame game is stupid and childish. Even if it is someone else’s fault, the blame game is wasted time, effort, and energy that takes you somewhere that is not going to get you anywhere.”

“Carrying someone else’s weight is only going to weigh down on you and add stress, frustration, and pain. Choose who you work with and play with wisely.”
