* David's Quote:  

“Either you run the day or the day runs you.” - Jim Rohn  

I became aware of it juggling a number of responsibilities and even more aware after leaving that environment I put myself in. This has helped me develop my sense of daily awareness. While realizing to use the resources around me and that I am in charge of how I decide to use my time.   

* Mike's Quote:     

“Discipline equals freedom.” - Jocko Willink, from his book Extreme Ownership.  

This applies to my efforts in managing a large team in a service industry as well as my entrepreneurial venture in starting my own construction company. It’s important to have a plan and execute on that plan to keep yourself and your team on track.
