1. “If you don’t toot your own horn, don’t complain that there’s no music.”
2. “Do not write to impress others. Authors who write to impress people have difficulty remaining true to themselves. A better path is to write what pleases you and pray that there are others like you. Your first and most important reader is you. If you write a book that pleases you, at least you know one person will like it.”
3. “If you want to make a good first impression, smile at people. What does it cost to smile? Nothing. What does it cost not to smile? Everything, if not smiling prevents you from enchanting people.”

5. “The first good reason to write a book is to add value to people’s lives.”

21. “Doing, not learning to do, is the essence of entrepreneurship.”
22. “BRANDS ARE LESS IMPORTANT. When information was incomplete and slow, people depended on a brand’s imprimatur for quality assurance.

Guy Kawasaki Review | Final Thoughts

Guy is an okay guy, some of this stuff I can follow but other things I cannot that’s just my opinion.  I do like his quotes too but hey he is successful so obviously he is doing something right and earning an amazing income.

 

I have to give to Guy though I do love using his tool Canva it has changed my life and the marketing side of our business.   Canva is one of the best online graphic design tools that cuts my graphic artistry time in half.
