Key Thoughts:

 

  • If you're doing the selling and you're still supervising the work, your company is worthless. John Warrillow (4:33)

     

  • It is not very easy, in my estimation to sit down on the day that you decide you want to sell and sell if you haven't prepared in advance to be able to do that. Michele Williams (20:03)

     

  • Giving away your time for less than your worth is a symptom of this larger problem, which is wanting to be appreciated, wanting to be loved and needed and, being acknowledged for what you do, makes people squeamish about charging for what they do. John Warrillow (33:05)

     

  • It's hard because it's almost like watching somebody come in and totally retool everything that you've done that you thought worked so well that got you to where you are and then you have to sit and support it and rah, rah, ree, and cheer right behind it. Michele Williams (40:24)
