37.  Remembering I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. – Steve Jobs

*Note: The eagle eyed among you may notice I don’t have a no.1 in this list. I used to, but it was by Donald Trump which I included when I wrote this post a few years ago. I’ve since realised how much of an idiot he is so felt I had to remove it simply as it made me feel wrong having even his name anywhere on my website.

Most obviously, Howard is great marketer. He knew which channels we should try, when we should try them, how we analyse and how to react to them….as a result we sold a lot of tickets. Which was obviously great for us.
