"Now what I do use Instagram for, is to connect with my team members. I don't always go into the office, but I want to see what people are up to. So I enjoy following everyone who works at the company. At least the ones who want me to follow them. I look at their pictures, their status updates, it lets me comment, interact with them, engage. I do this over Instagram versus Facebook because for me; it's more personal. I've noticed that people post more personal stuff on their Instagram than they do on Facebook. I love it because I'm getting to know my team members."

Although that's true in certain communities and environments like in San Francisco, it's not true everywhere. If you want to succeed, the sad reality is, people will judge you for things that you may not like. Now, you could be one of those people that are like, and I'm not going to conform to it, I don't care what people think, I'm going to do me. And if that's your attitude, by all means, you should do it. If you don't want to change, you don't have to. But I did an interesting little experiment when I used to live in Las Vegas.

Go ask the person who's a fitness or certified in nutrition, nutrition information. Go ask me marketing information. Look at who you're getting advice from. The person needs to be in your field before you take their advice seriously. I'm not saying you shouldn't hear 'em out. I'm just saying, double think or double, you should question at least the advice that they're giving and go ask someone who's in the industry the same question to see what they say. And if they say the same thing, cool. Now you have two people giving you advice and you should go and execute on it.

Get up, get out of your rear and actually do work. Just because you're the smartest person in the world, you're reading everything, doesn't mean you're gonna be successful. So instead of just trying to read everything, read something and then take what you've read and applied it. That application part, where you're applying it, is the most important part.

Some people give the cheesy response of their parents and I admire my parents. I love them. Some people give the cheesy response of the Elon Musk or the Warren Buffets or the Bill Gates because that's who are well-known and they're doing amazing things. I'm not saying I don't admire em. But when it comes to who do I admire the most, I honestly don't know the answer to who that is. I do know what kind of people I admire the most, but I don't know who they are.

A successful life is happiness. What makes me happy is different than what makes you happy. And for those, all of you guys who are watching, it's not about saying, "hey I wanna be rich like so and so," or "I have this friend and he has an amazing life," what you'll find is, when you achieve whatever version you consider success, you know, and that can be the same as the other person, you may not be happy, it's not all about working.

I believe in this concept called intrapreneurship where you can be an entrepreneur within a company. I wish I started my career working for someone, learning from them, that way I know what mistakes and what not to do. I'll try to be a entrepreneur within a organization and a lot of em encourage it. Like Google has this thing where I think it's about 20% of the time, what is it David, 20%? 30% of the time? 20% of the time, you should be doing your own personal projects. Companies encourage it.

You think that they're going to make it easy to get rankings? Of course not. If it were that easy, they wouldn't be getting ad revenue; I think 80-plus percent of their income purely comes from ad words. So there's no way they're going to make it easy. If you're going to elevate your marketing business, don't just copy people.

That doesn't mean teachers are useless; my mom's a teacher, I think they are amazing, they help to educate the world. And they teach a lot of valuable lessons like critical thinking, especially when you're younger. But what I've come to realize is that you won't learn what you like, how to find your passion or what you want to do until you try things out.

There are most likely many people out there who would love to commission an artist for portraits or creative work, but they're too busy, or they think art is too expensive or the artist that they're a fan of is unreachable.

Quickly realizing, because that was my first experience of dealing with someone who spent a lot of money just not a lot of time but money as well, in a career that they hated and they didn't learn until they finished and it kind of sucks because it's too late. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/internetacademy/support

"Think about what you love. Before you go out there and create a blog, make sure you're willing to do it for the next 10, 20 years. If you're not, make sure you have a team that's going to carry it over and help push it forward, even when you're not there. The first step is passion. If you're not passionate about something, you're not going to blog consistently."

"With your Shopify store, ideally, most of you guys are like, "Oh, what kind of products should we sell? "How many?" You should start off with one product. You don't need tons and tons of products to do well on Shopify. Start off with one. I'm not saying you can't add more products later on."

"Artificial Intelligence is going to start being integrated into marketing campaigns, not what most of you guys are thinking about, and here's what I mean. You're going to start seeing a lot of things integrated together, in which the technology and the intelligence is going to start dictating what people do in their life, more so by making suggestions, and they're going to try to get companies to switch brands."
