So, you want to build your influence, thought leadership and business? Glamorous selfies along with quotes said by other people will do absolutely nothing to help you build any of that.
If you want to build real influence, show people your mind – not your selfie.

Recently, I sat in an airport, two hours before a flight to Florida, and decided to haul out my laptop and get some work done. I was already waiting at the gate for them to call for pre-boarding, typing away at one of those high top tables.
We’ve got to stop throwing money at business problems as our first response. Why? Every business goes through cycles of change and different phases as the business grows – and we need to know where we’re at.
