Dave Kerpen is a serial entrepreneur and NY Times bestselling author of 5 books, including Get Over Yourself: Lead and Delegate Better for More Time, More Freedom and More Success.
Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Great delegation, when done right, allows you to have the freedom, the time, the ability to prioritize what's important in your life and still allows you to be successful.
2. Without a team, you cannot do things on your own. So for anyone out there that wants to build something meaningful, something scalable, something long lasting, the only real solution is delegating to others and letting others in to be part of your team to do the job.
3. Fear, distrust, need for control, and need for perfectionism – once you're aware of it and you can act in the face of it, that's literally the definition of courage.

Top 3 Value Bombs
1. Entrepreneurs do not have to conform to a specific mold.

Top 3 Value Bombs
1. The key is not cash, the key is passion. Authenticity matters because if you’re doing something that is authentic to you, then the audience would know that it’s authentic to them.
2. Nowadays, the content itself is the variable, not the number of followers, because the merit of the creative is the game and that level of underpriced attention where there is no cost for distribution.
3. The world is selling so much negativity. You have a huge opportunity. If you’re passionate about anything, the opportunity to be great in organic social media to start the process of you living a happier and professional life is now more real.
