I attended a conference yesterday and walked away with word jerky like you wouldn’t believe. I don’t know which of these nuggets to chew on first, so I’m going to share them all and see which ones make you bite. Chime in early; chime in often. Let’s get the most out of these.

And in no particular order… Drum roll please…

• Trust changes everything. (Marcus Sheridan)
• Get comfortable with change and patience. (Tiffany Sauder)
• Let go of the mentality that you have a secret sauce. (Marcus Sheridan)
• Truth and transparency can change an industry. (Marcus Sheridan)
• Putting your toes in the water isn’t good enough. You have to jump in all the way. (Brian Halligan)
• Why do we let our competitors dictate how much money we make? (Marcus Sheridan)
• If you have too much dead wood in your organization consider this: were they dead when you hired them or did you kill them? (Will Davis)
• I love watching dumb businesses. It’s awesome! (Marcus Sheridan)
• Marketing used to be about the size of your wallet. Now it’s about the size of your brain. (Brian Halligan)
• Don’t irritate your way into someones wallet. Love your way there. (Brian Halligan)
• Make sharing easy. (Nate Riggs)

I’ve got lots of ideas to develop for future posts, but for now I need to chew on this Sam’s Club-sized portion of word jerky. Talk it up, friends. Which one of these grabs you?
