Quotables from Blissdom Speakers

There were so many great speakers at Blissdom this year. It can be a challenge to decide whose session to attend, so I chose sessions based on what I needed to forward and grow my craft and my business. That is not to say the other sessions were not equally as important, I wish I could have attended every single one. I have enjoyed reading the recaps from the attendees because it let me know I have something to look forward to when Blissdom at Home is released. On that note, here are a few of the quotable bits of advice, inspiration and wisdom I heard during the sessions I attended:

The road to awesome is a loop. You get younger when you learn something new. ~ Jon Acuff

Your audience is visually stimulated. Photos inspire people to act. ~ David Molnar

Normal is boring. Have an opinion. ~ C.C. Chapman

Your visibility is more important than your ability. ~ John Morgan

Write about issues, not individuals. ~ Jon Acuff

Your brand is not your logo. ~ Scott Stratten

Make a list of what your competition never does, then do it. ~ John Morgan

Advice I Would Give to My Younger Self


You know the old saying, “Hindsight is 20/20.” Is it ever! For myself, if I could go back and give my younger self some advice, I would have saved myself some heartache, headaches and dealings with crazy ass friends. This video could have easily been an hour, so I limited my advice to three things.

Tell me in the comments, what kind of advice would you give your younger self if you could?

I must thank my friends, Jenny and Amiyrah for their inspiring and hilarious videos.
