Good Manners Are Back in FashionMost octo- and nonagenarians can recall living in a very different world – one where they knew their local grocery store owner all their lives, and where good customer relationships mattered. “Courtesy and respect” were prevalent in those days, and word got around if someone in the community was rude.

If customers were pleased, they told their family and friends. If customers were unhappy, they told even more people. Businesses “lived and died” on their reputations.The growth of big corporations and the pursuit of profits changed these “old-world values.” Firms cut corners and “manners took a nosedive.” No longer did businesses build trust and loyalty through the countless small, personal interactions so crucial to all good human relations; instead, they tried to enhance their profits by eliminating all unnecessary niceties.Enter the Internet, which dramatically changed the face of business. At first, its electronic remoteness and sheer size only extended individuals’ sense of isolation; people experienced fewer human interactions when they could purchase anything they desired online – they “never had to leave the house.” But.
One passion is everythingHow badly do you want to crush it? Is it an all-consuming feeling? Do you stay awake at night, your brain swimming with ideas and dreams? Are you willing to do whatever it takes for the chance to live entirely on your own terms? If so, you’re lucky. You’re lucky because you live in an age of unmatched opportunity for anyone with enough hustle, patience, and big dreams. I should know, since that’s all I had to work with.Three years ago I was an anomaly, a guy with very limited technology skills who used social media sites like Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr to build a highly fulfilling and profitable personal brand.
Back then, a lot of people were unwilling to accept that the business world—that society—was changing, and if I had tried to tell you that you could build a business that creates wealth and the most happiness you’ve ever known with nothing more than passion and a willingness to work your face off, you might not have believed me. Now, though, the opportunities are endless—I don’t think enough people have yet grasped just how much society and business and even the Internet have changed—and my story is about to become a lot less unusual. If you want it badly enough, it can become your story, in a lot less time and for a lot less money.Here’s how fast change has taken hold: I helped take my dad’s local liquor store, Shopper’s Discount Liquors, and blew it up from four million dollars to fifty million dollars in eight years (1998–2005).
I’m proud of that. But aside from a ton of hard work, it took millions of dollars in advertising with the New York Times, Wine Spectator, and other publications as well as radio stations and local TV.
Compare that with when I started building my personal brand in February 2006—to this day it has cost me far less in money (less than $15,000) than in sweat, and I’m having more fun than I’ve ever had in my life. You’ve got sweat, right? You may not have connections, or an education, or wealth, but with enough passion and sweat, you can make anything happen.three rulesYou may have picked up this book because you want to know the secret to my success. Well, my secret is that I live by three pretty simple rules:Love your family.Work superhard.Live your passion.That’s it. Notice that I don’t mention the Internet, or social media tools, or even technology, even though they have been crucial to everything I’ve accomplished in the last few years.

That’s because I measure my success by how happy I am, not how big the business is or how much money I’ve made. And thanks to following those three rules, I’m 100 percent happy.Don’t believe me?
Think it’s not possible? I promise you it is.If you don’t already live the first principle, get on it, because what I’m going to tell you in this book is worthless if you’re not taking care of your family. Your family always comes first.
But if you’ve got that priority straight, and you’re working hard, and you’re still not 100 percent happy, it’s probably because you’re not living your passion. And that, my friends, although it is only one-third of the secret to success, is the whole key to staking your claim in the new business world we live in today.Live your passion.
What does that mean, anyway? It means that when you get up for work every morning, every single morning, you are pumped because you get to talk about or work with or do the thing that interests you the most in the world. You don’t live for vacations because you don’t need a break from what you’re doing—working, playing, and relaxing are one and the same. You don’t even pay attention to how many hours you’re working because to you, it’s not really work. You’re making money, but you’d do whatever it is you’re doing for free.Does this sound like you? Are you living, or just earning a living? You spend so much time at work, why waste it doing anything other than what you love most?
Life is too short for that.
