A good organization is like a box of crayons. You need different colors of the spectrum, but all the crayons should fit in the box.

Insecurity is a wonderful motivator.

I was a hot-dog stand lady, I was an orphan housemother, I was a waitress 3 or 4 times. All of those jobs did not have good bosses. They basically told you what to do, when to do and when to hop. And I just didn't like that very much.

If someone doesn't fit in your company, you have an obligation to get rid of them, because you're holding them back from excelling elsewhere.

The best time to expand is when people are asleep at the wheel.

Empathy for the people you're working with and being aware of their needs...that's the "big kahuna" in managing people.

When you feel stuck and can't seem to move ahead, always remember that you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going!
