Don’t just play the game – change it for good.

Some 80% of your life is spent working. You want to have fun at home; why shouldn't you have fun at work?

Publicity is absolutely critical. A good PR story is infinitely more effective than a front page ad.

Remain focused on fulfilling your business mission. Never allow adversity divert your attention and efforts.

Develop the business around the people; build it, don't buy it; and, then, be the best.
