quote of the week

I love good quotes so I thought it might be fun to feature my favorites on the blog. I've been repeating this one to myself about 500 times per day. It's a great reminder about boundaries and it makes me laugh. Every. Single. Time.

Quote of the week: 

"Don't try to win over the haters. You're not the jackass whisperer."

-- Scott Stratten, author of Unmarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging.

I have a big bulletin board in my office at work full of things I call "Imspirations, Quotes & Smiles" I would love to post this one - but I'm thinking the haters would disapprove! I think I'll keep it to myself for secret pleasure!!

I sooo wish someone had shared this with me years ago - it would have come in sooo handy!

[Kathryn Grace]

I'm not the jackass whisperer. But wouldn't it be lovely if we all could be jackass whisperers? How would the world change if we could make the jackasses feel so comfortable in their own skin they began to love?
