I had to create some good work habits and attitude.
No goal is too high if we climb with care and confidence.
Learn to love your work and you’ll never have to ‘work’ again.
A business, successful or not, is merely a reflection of the character of its leadership.
As a kid, I can’t remember having anything to play with except a loose tooth. And that wasn’t mine. It was my brother’s.
If we get better our customers will demand we get bigger.
I realized I could do anything if I wanted it badly enough.
Many of the unexpected opportunities we encounter are small but significant.
To take advantage of unexpected opportunities, we must leave ourselves available.
The difference between success and failure is often about 5% more effort.
You know what ego stands for: Edging Out God!
Opportunity presents itself sometimes in unusual situations. What you think is the worst thing turns out to be a good thing. Different circumstances challenge people to do things they didn’t know they could do, and in those times when the outlook appears the worst, we find new reasons for optimism.
If you’re excited about what you’re doing, it’s a lot more likely that your employees will also be excited. People want to work for a person, not a company. It’s about relationships.
Ringing the cash register is not the name of the game. It’s only the scorekeeper, and it’s not what motivates me. I’m motivated in my business by the compliments I receive about our people, our service, and the quality of our food.
We must motivate ourselves to do our very best, and by our example lead others to do their best as well.
People want to work with a person, not for a company.
As Christians, we have an obligation and responsibility to abide by the principles of the Bible.
Success in any relationship or endeavor begins with trust.
If it takes seven days to make a living, you ought to be doing something else.
In most cases we perform better when we’re busy than when we’re not busy. When we’re slow, our mind wanders. We’re not as attentive to our business. When we’re on the firing line, we’re sharper. We move more quickly and get the job done right.
