Can I tell you a brief story? ** You Big Timed me! ** Sometimes you have to take the client because you need the money ** I try to treat everyone like they are family ** Respect is a two-way street ** So is business ** Running and owning a small business is personal ** I don't view business as a zero-sum game ** True Capitalism means you have to be honest in relationships ** We rely on our relationships and networks ** Big Timing ** People don't hold themselves accountable ** Sometimes people confuse activity with being busy ** We look at everyone as a team member ** Relationship Capital ** What kind of person do you want to be? ** I will always try to show up for somebody ** If you are running a small business, you can't burn bandwidth ** Economy of Scale ** That's my rant for today ** Honesty ** To be successful you don't have to be everything to everybody ** Being honest isn't being rude.
