Mac AndersonI highly recommend setting aside pockets of time during each day for solitude. You might have only five or ten minutes, but be alone and uninterrupted. And then sometime each week devote an extended time - at least one hour - to reconnect with your soul. How and when you do it is a very personal thing, but plan it because solitude doesn't happen on its own. Make it a priority in your life.

Mac AndersonIf employees feel you don't trust them to do their jobs correctly and well, they'll be reluctant to do much without your approval.

Mac AndersonThis is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good.

Mac AndersonThe only way to build a good company is one satisfied customer at a time. However, to build a great company, we must add one raving fan at a time.

Mac AndersonDream big dreams, but never forget that realistic short-term goals are the keys to your success.
