For business, our internet love affair was a gift from the gods.
When we launched the WineLibrary website in 1996, I didn’t even own a computer yet. I just understood that there was an opportunity here to market in a different way.
People are chasing cash, not happiness. When you chase money, you’re going to lose. You’re just going to. Even if you get the money, you’re not going to be happy.
On Facebook, the definition of great content is not the content that makes the most sales, but the content that people most want to share with others.
I find it fascinating that a lot of business books that do well are from people who’ve never made any money in business.
No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story.
Never ever waver. Be on record. Don’t be on the wrong side of history.
If content is King, context is God.
A penguin cannot become a giraffe, so just be the best penguin you can be.
Legacy is greater than currency.
Time – the one asset none of us are ever gonna get more of.
Skills are cheap. Passion is priceless.
The brands that can connect with client in a real way will win.
I attract a crowd, not because I’m an extrovert or I’m over the top or I’m oozing with charisma. It’s because I care.

If I could drink only one wine, it would be Champagne.
There has never been a better time in the history of time than right now to start a business.
Effort is grossly underrated.
Don’t worry; skills are cheap, passion is priceless. If you’re passionate about your content and you know it and do it better than anyone else, even with few formal business skills you have the potential to create a million-dollar business.
I measure my success by how happy I am, not how big the business is or how much money I’ve made.
