Google+ Style
You can write in bold or italic, but you just have to make some small “additions”. To write in bold, write the word in asterisks: *example*. If you want to write in italic, put it in underscores: _example_. If you want the words you write to appear cut, use a hyphen: -example-.

Before
Passion: “I have never had a job I was not passionate about.” - Kurt Podeszwa (Camp For All), SchipulCon in the speaker room.
If you are not passionate about what you’re doing, stop.
I’m serious.
Just stop.

We need to reset our expectations
Anyone who says social media is free doesn’t know squat about running an effective social media campaign.

FOR EXAMPLE: Building a portfolio (translated: work, write, create, or shoot for free sometimes.)
But, DO NOT establish the value for your product/services at $0.00. NEVER be available for anyone for free when THEY request your time. NEVER.
We need to reset our expectations

Easy enough (kind of) if you are doing this for your own brand. But if you have employees or a vendor doing this for you, it just stopped being “free”.
We need to reset our expectations
