Zitat des Tages von Lewis Howes:
The road to profits is paved with unfair advantages.
While entrepreneurs spend a lot of effort trying to avoid failure, sometimes the lessons one learns from those missteps can be invaluable.
There's no reason to feel embarrassed about presenting your product or service if it solves a problem.
If something catches your attention, it's probably going to catch the attention of others, too.

Staying consistent with positive habits can be a challenge.
Every great leader knows that his or her role comes with responsibility for those who follow him or her, and in ensuring they provide value in return for their loyalty.
I was a pain most of my childhood, always mad at the things I didn't have. Things shifted drastically in my 20s when I started putting an emphasis on gratitude. Focus on the good you do have, not the things you lack.
When beginning your entrepreneurial journey, acknowledge that you become a product of the five people you spend the most time with. So choose your company wisely.
As a business owner, leadership is more than just telling others what to do. Leadership is about the investment we make into others and the responsibilities we accept for being the voice and direction that others count on.

As a business owner, what's the sense in having droves of followers and connections if you aren't able to turn them into paying customers?
The world is awaiting your gift - all you have to do is show up with the right intention!

Social media is not the place to work out your problems with people.
New things get noticed. This means you can't be afraid to present something new to your market, even if it's just a variation or an addition to an already-existing product or service.
Just like football, business is a game of inches, where the smallest advancement or advantage can mean the difference between winning and losing.
I believe passion is the sword of love that pierces through the wall of fears that hold us back.
Becoming an authority in your industry can be a great way to promote your business and help you better serve your clients.

As a profession, entrepreneurship breeds anything but balance. The highs can be stratospheric, and the lows can be crushing.
It doesn't take a lot of research to realize that the human eye is drawn to attractive things. So the better looking your LinkedIn profile is - meaning professional and complete - the more qualified you'll appear to your audience and the more interested people will be to check out your site.
Unfortunately, the higher you climb in social media, the more people will want to throw stones at you. But don't retaliate publicly.
Successful people often enjoy telling their story.
I often speak publicly, and when I do, I also get to listen to other presenters. The most memorable are the ones that hit an emotional chord with a tight story and a punch line. No fluff. Keep it creative and concise. Greatness exists in quality, not quantity.
When it comes to nurturing professional relationships and developing a community, LinkedIn is one of the best resources.
Don't allow people to suck up all your time with their questions or problems. Learn to say 'no' more often.
One of the most powerful networking practices is to provide immediate value to a new connection. This means the moment you identify a way to help someone, take action.
