Top 3 Value Bombs
1. If you spend as much time going after great people to work with you as you did as clients, it gets a lot easier and a lot more fun.
2. Coaches do such an amazing job of motivating their players and if we treated business a little bit more like sports. We would go a lot further in business.
3. You're not worth anything if you're not in the right space, if you're not appreciated, don't be angry. That just means that you're in the wrong space. Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value.
