Believe passionately in what you do, and never knowingly compromise your standards and values. Act like a true professional, aiming for true excellence, and the money will follow.

Whether or not your values are operational is crucially determined by whether or not there are consequences for noncompliance.

Your task as a leader is to help others to succeed, not to strive only for your own success. If I don't trust your motives, nothing else will matter -because my primary concern is your integrity.

When did you feel most fulfilled? When did you impress yourself, or otherwise feel most proud of yourself?

What you do with your billable time determines your current income, but what you do with your non-billable time determines your future.

What do I have to do to earn and deserve the key relationships that are going to get me where I want to go?

Before a leader can be accepted, let alone succeed, autonomous professionals must agree to be influenced by that person.
