3 mentoring and sponsorships
4 adoption of low-code no-code
5 improving digital proficiency
6 business model innovation

Where you are now is based on the decisions you made 5-10 years ago.

Where you will be in 5-10 years is based on the decisions you make now.

I am impressed and grateful when I meet smart people.

But what I admire most is kindness, humility, optimism, generosity and shared knowledge. Be this person.

As I got older, I realized:

1 lost money can be found; lost time is lost forever

2 learning to learn, and changing yourself is a superpower

3 you are not your job

4 networking is about giving

5 best teacher is your last mistake

6 good manners as important as good education

The Future of Work Is a 60-Year Career https://t.co/5OTyAvNVzD I plan to work until I drop. Let's hope businesses can commit to the idea of having an 80-year old digital marketer on the team.

Not really. The sample surveyed was a highly selective one and comprised mostly of psychiatrists, who have not historically been very successful in treating addiction. #addiction #recovery https://t.co/mVNEcQZguW

You are wealthy when you can freely decide what to do with your time.

Winners quit all the time. They just quit the right stuff at the right time.

After managing hundreds of people throughout my career, I started to realize that I did not care where you went to college.

Some of the highest performing people were graduates of affordable state schools.

Some of the best talent left colleges prematurely and did not graduate.

My grandpa was one of my heroes.

He influenced my life in more ways than I can count.

He passed away almost 15 years years ago, but today we found this page in one of his old notebooks.

He titled it the “Positive Thinking Principle”
