Reflections on stealing ideas…
There’s no such thing as an original idea
Everyone steals ideas. I just admit it
All my best work is stolen
Don’t copy style (find your own voice)
No one can steal your ability to come up with ideas

Life advice for myself disguised as marketing advice for others…
Be generous and give others the benefit of the doubt
Life is a lot more fun when you don’t take it personally
Laugh at yourself before anyone else can
Don’t pay too much attention to the critics

In general..
If you never ask, the answer is always “no”
If people do it in real life, they will probably use social media to do it
If you want someone to date you, first become someone worth dating
If you want people to follow you, you better have something to say

In sum…
If social media feels like work, you’re doing it wrong
Pour yourself a drink
Have some @ChipotleTweets
