It’s easy to think we are too busy or not gifted enough to join in our communities. Your life will be much richer - go give your gifts. The time will appear. The avenue will open.

Once success is within our grasp, the silent killer slinks in - the focus of building becomes less about who we serve and more about using our power to serve our own egos.

“It takes heart to say no when our heart and brains and guts and most important, pride are yearning to say yes, Practice.” – Cole Harmonson

It’s magical when you find a good employee and integrate them successfully into your company. But you can’t just then give them all the things!

As a small business owner, we spend too much time worrying about the far future when we don’t have the near future solidified. If you’ve got someone who has the skills, the aptitude, and the desire to work for you - take it and be grateful every day.

Have you ever thought about how you manipulate yourself?!

You have to recognize who people are and then decide - do I accept them? Do their strengths outweigh their flaws? Because we are all flawed. And sometimes the secret answer is distance, not removal.

The types of people who start a business are not typically the types of people to run it until they die. Every leader needs a succession plan!

Sometimes your team finds things out before you want them to. We are all imperfect creatures and should expect to mess up from time to time. How do you lead through it?

It’s amazing how many things we know in our core but need external validation before we believe it. Find someone who can be your mirror.
