Quotables:

If we all had a well to go to that was story rich for our businesses, that would be invaluable for a business owner.

I was imagining that I needed to make up this perfectly crafted story. But no — I needed to tell a true story that showed people, actually showed them that I’m telling the truth. And here’s proof via a story.

I think more than ever we need people to be standing up and helping people. And that’s never going to change.

We have to get good at providing inciting incidents for people. Events just so happen to be a really powerful way to do that.

During webinars I used to tape up a piece of paper right in front of me that said ‘show up and help people.’ I wasn’t worried about the pitch or anything, I just wanted to show up and help people. If you come at anything from that perspective, you’re going to feel better AND see some results from it.
