NOTABLE QUOTES:

“Business is always personal because it involves people … so because business is personal, we need to treat it that way. And then we need to treat our people that way.”

“You have to have the mindset to serve each other; that’s what leadership is all about.”

“If all you do is try and sell something to somebody and you’re not concerned about that person, meaning you’re not serving them. You don’t have a place here because that’s what we’re we’re about. We’re about serving people.”

“Not every customer, not every client is yours.”

“If you look at a high-performing organization, you’ll find high trust. By high trust, you gotta find leadership vulnerable enough to trust their people.”

“If you want your business to be the absolute best it can be, it starts with our most significant relationships… it could be relationships with friends, it could be with colleagues, it could be with clients, it doesn’tdoesn’t matter who it’s with. But when those relationships are solid, business takes care of itself, it flies.”

“If you start your day with gratitude, you’re going to have a better day.”
