Working with a new partner. Launching the next milliondollar brand. Driving adoption of a new web app (like Bunch Out).
This happens very often in Mindvalley and I always find myself dancing around the same question… What can we do to make this spread like wildfire? (That’s me in the picture, in deep thought)

While I’m not the world renowned experts on this (yet), just wanted to share a quote, and few links you might find useful if you’re thinking about such questions too.
“Language is the dress of thoughtâ€
~18th century lexicographer Samuel Johnson
