"I can live for two months on a good compliment." ~ Mark Twain

It only seemed logical that we turn the tables and talk about how to hire your heroes, create an audience of raving fans, and otherwise become "the TSwift of ___" online.

With every interaction, look for an opportunity to make someone feel good.

Dopamine, aka 'The Pleasure Drug', is a neurotransmitter that plays a major role in reward motivated behavior.

Compliments are nothing less than an art, but it's one that can be learned. First off, ditch generic words like awesome, nifty, and cool. Be specific!

Your Homework: Find two genuine moments of appreciation and express that feeling in the most emphatic, descriptive, and energized manner possible.
