Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Don’t put your money in retirement plans because they don’t work. Its all about how much income is coming in to pay for your lifestyle.

Mike Kaufman re-imagines e-commerce with "Power Warranty Marketing," driving fierce brand loyalty and extraordinary reviews for his brand, ProTuff Products, as shared on the 'Brand Fortress HQ Podcast.'

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. When you build something of true value, someosne else is almost always gonna try to topple your kingdom. Build something that's not just valuable but that's also formidable. Don't just build a castle and build that fortress.

2. It's not worth offering the warranty if it's not effective. You really need a warranty and a business model that is staggeringly impressive, but also profit protective.

3. There's a cost to the warranty, but what's the cost on the other side of not fulfilling the warranty properly? You're losing way more on that end than you're gaining, by making that process difficult and having them bail in the process.

2. Put out positive in the world and it will come back to you. Put out negative in the world and it will also come back to you.

3. Having a traumatic experience will  eventually manifest in an illness so it is important to deal with those demons and be able to forgive people who have wronged you.

Joe Blackburn, founder of The Lion, leads multi-million-dollar teams to develop strategies that bridge the gap from standard growth to expansive success.

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Every business is a people business and the only thing that will save you in business is your effectiveness with people.

2. You are the product so you have to constantly refine yourself. Taking care of yourself by becoming more interesting, learning and growing more is necessary to adapt in the ever evolving world of business.

3. Write your goals everyday because if you don’t, your goals will escape you and if you are not controlling your mind, someone else will.
