Habits grow from obtaining knowledge, attitude and skills.

The two greatest role models in my professional career were Walt Disney and Dr. Deming. Dr. Deming was the Father of Total Quality Management and the person who redefined quality for the entire world.

Write down your Dream or story; create your own unique Values, Believe in them, and use them to make all decisions; Dare to take some risks; and Do the planning, revisions and details to realize the Dream.

I would advise any startup to take the time to define their unique culture and work at making it a reality.

When values are deeply embedded within an organization, they seldom change.

When you are young, if you can define your long-term dream, - something that you can get passionate about - solidify your values, dare to take a risk and then put a plan together to accomplish that dream... that could be the difference between success and failure in life.

The results of "engaged" companies vs "disengaged" companies are staggering. Getting workers to be more engaging with their coworkers and customers can produce huge results.
