It's never too late to redefine self-control, to change long-ingrained habits, and to do the work you're capable of.

The people who successfully start independent businesses (franchises, I think are a different thing) do it because we have no real choice in the matter. The voice in our heads won't shut up until we discover if we're right, if we can do it, if we can make something happen. This is an art, our art, and to leave it bottled up is a crime.

When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.

As an organization grows and succeeds, it sows the seeds of its own demise by getting boring.

The only real help is self-help. Anything else is just designed to get you to the point where you can help yourself.

Life is a buzzer box. Poke it.

I don't care how many friends you have on Facebook or how many followers you have on Twitter. Those are not actual friends or truly followers. I care about how many people will miss you if you're not back here again tomorrow.
