“None of these will help unless you actually implement what they are saying. A lot of times we (I am guilty also) listen to them, believe they have great ideas and we never change. Take an idea and give it a chance! I do this weekly now. Some work, some do not, but if you do not try, why even waste your time reading or listening?” – John Cannariato
