‘Teamwork makes the dream work.’- DeVon Franklin

When it comes to your growth, when it comes to your success, the people around you matter. Because they have the power to change your direction, to take you to where you don’t want to be.

If that is where you want to go, then don’t worry about changing your environment. Then don’t worry about where you are. Then don’t think about the people you are spending your time with.

I do not think you want to do that to yourself. Because if you don’t take care of your environment, if you don’t care about how you are spending your time, you are just wasting your time.

Don’t waste your time. Use your time wisely. You will do more when you do it with other quality people. You will get a lot down when you bring other quality people into your life.

Don’t do it alone. You cannot win alone. You cannot build a community alone. You cannot create a team alone, not if you are tired of doing the same thing.

The question is, ‘Are you tired of doing the same thing?’

If you want to gain more wisdom, put your knowledge to work.

Because ‘you cannot arrive at the right definition of results without significant input from your customers…’

‘A fundamental responsibility of leadership is to make sure that everybody knows the mission, understands it, lives it.’

‘Never subordinate the mission in order to get money.’

‘Our business is not to please everyone casually but to please our target customers deeply.’

‘Transformation requires moving people out of their old organizational boxes into flexible, fluid management systems.’

‘Leadership is a responsibility all members of the organization share, and it is circular.’

‘Concentration is building on success, strengthening what does work. The best rule is to put your efforts into your successes.’

‘If you have more than five goals, you have none.’

‘Planning does not substitute facts for judgment, nor science for leadership. It recognizes the importance of analysis, courage, experience, intuition-even hunch. It is responsibility rather than technique.’

‘Every interaction with a customer is now marketing. Marketing was once focused on the destination- and that destination was most likely a purchase. Marketing is now is about the customer journey, and customer expect you to be there to help them every step of the way- before, during, and after the purchase.’
