Quotes

“Commitment means it’s a ‘yes’ for me, and until you say ‘yes,’ you’re really not committed…Until you commit, you’re really not getting anywhere—it’s just a dream. There’s no commitment. There’s no vision cast. There’s no goal setting. There’s no results-oriented until you say ‘yes.’ ” Jim Robinson, (3:05)

“You’ve got to talk about this mission—what we do here every day, the vision, why we are here. And it’s not just to fix a widget, it’s to impact people’s lives. And for me, the purpose is through growing people through education and experience.” Jim Robinson, (8:35)

“You can do one great thing in your life by yourself, but you can do many great things if you get the team.” Jim Robinson, (23:14)
