Top 3 Value Bombs
1. You don’t have to do anything just because someone else says that that’s the way you should do it. You can find examples of people who are successful in every walk of life doing things their own way. All of us are figuring things out as we go along.
2. The purpose of social media was to figure out how to manipulate people so they would spend as much time as possible on these platforms so they can sell other people ads that they then show to us.
3. Look at trends happening, places where there is a lot of interest, energy and money going in and out, and figure out how to carve out a little piece of that interest - become someone of value.

Lloyed Lobo is the co-founder of Boast.AI, which automates access to billions in R and D tax credits and innovation incentives to help businesses fuel their growth without giving up equity and dealing with red-tape.
Top 3 Value Bombs
1. If you don’t have an ideal customer, you won’t know what to build, what to do, and what service to provide. Focus brings clarity to your messaging.
2. As founders, what we don’t do well is we no longer stop and smell the roses. It’s important to enjoy life a bit everyday and appreciate things a bit more everyday.
3. One of the most important things to build and inspire a team for high performance is to hire smart people and get out of their way. You hire people so they tell you what to do - not the other way around.

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.
2. AI can execute plans but can not create them. Writers will become prompt engineers, ensuring quality control, giving feedback to improve content, and considering ethics and bias.
3. Embracing AI is vital for entrepreneurs to stay competitive in today's changing landscape.
