Winners like to work with other winners. If you want to build a great business, you must hire the best. Because only the best can give you the best.

When you hire average, you get average. When you hire the best, you get the best. When you are around the best, you attract more excellent people into your world.

‘Work on your people, not for your people.’

‘Great leaders aren’t necessarily great coaches, but great coaches are great leaders.’

‘Complacency can be just as dangerous to the team’s morale as negativity.’

‘Managers spend too much time with the people who need the attention instead of those who deserve the attention.’

‘The way to move the middle up is to chop off the bottom and grow the top.’

A true game plan needs consistent reviewing, adjustments, and updates.’

‘We will do only what we are held accountable to do.’

‘Just because it has never been done doesn’t mean it can’t be done.’

‘Challenges make you go bigger.’

‘What makes you great is not what you’ve been doing for fifteen years- what makes you great is you.’

Always ‘Act Like A Challenger Even If You Are A Champ.’ Here Is Why

Do more. If you want more, you must do more. If you want to grow, you must challenge yourself. Do not settle for small things.

Move around. Do not expect successful people to come to you. If you want to see them, you must ‘act like a challenger.’ Leave your comfort zone.

Do not settle for less. You can do more for yourself. Do not limit your life. If you don’t want to fail in your life, you must challenge yourself to get better.

In the words of Dave Anderson, ‘Act like challenger even if you are a champ. Challengers are hungry and humble, and have something to prove. Champs can become cocky and complacent, and can turn into know-it-alls.’

If you want change, stay hungry.

If want to grow, stay humble. And if you want to stay happy, ALWAYS challenge yourself.
