miss principle
The principle was right there - you couldn't miss it. The more you did for your customers, the more they did for us.
allowed believed best found greatest privilege success
What I wanted was to be allowed to do the thing in the world that I did best -- which I believed then and believe now is the greatest privilege there is. When I did that success found me.
american-businessman environment job love money
If you're going to be at a job environment, you should love it. You shouldn't do it just for money. You should do it because you love it. And the money comes naturally.
morning opportunity oxygen
I get very excited when I wake up in the morning and I am just full of oxygen. I say that purposefully. I try not to take for granted how lucky we are to have life and breath and opportunity. Once we've got that, we can conquer anything. Truly, I get high on oxygen, and once I graduate from that, what really fulfills me is doing what I love. That, to me, is absolutely priceless.
giving-up keys entrepreneur
I love to brainstorm. I like to mentor. When you're starting out, especially as an entrepreneur, you really don't know what you're doing. You go out there and you try so many things. The key in the process, to me, is that you keep trying and you never give up.
heart soul looks
We are here for a reason. We all have a gift or gifts to share. You want to look inside your heart and your soul, and you want to tap into the one thing you love to do. Develop it. Share it. Nurture it. You were meant to have that gift.
wall believe glasses
I believe the only limitations are the ones that we accept. I know that there is, in theory, a glass ceiling. But I don't believe that it's a solid wall. I'm going through it. Nothing's stopping me. Yes, there are these preconceived notions; yes, we have challenges. Let's accept them, let's not be afraid of them, let's break through them.
I feel like any time I'm doing what I love, my big pay-off is watching somebody else be the receiver.
people mentor helping
I love to nurture, I love to help people. I love to brainstorm. I like to mentor.
people helping stay-focused
I use my experience, my failures, my successes, and help people stay focused.
people inspire helping
My role is to coach, encourage, inspire, motivate, and help people.
fun having-fun
I love having fun! Why not?
giving what-if trying
I'm not a "what if." I want to just do it, try it, give it my all, and if it's not meant to be, I can accept that. But I had to do it.
If that's what everybody else is doing, that is not what I'm going to do!
