I have been inspired by Martin Luther King and how he inspired a movement. I have learned that a cause must be organic; if it is to have an impact it must belong to those who join the movement and not those who lead it.

People don't buy what you do; they buy what you stand for.

When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute.

Usually what happens is somebody grabs me and they always pull me off to the side. Nobody ever does it publically. They say, "I didn't want to be here." Or, "I don't usually like people like you." Or, "I didn't believe the things you actually talked about would work. I'm here to tell you that you converted me." That happens a lot.

When we are selective about doing business only with those who believe in our WHY, trust emerges.

I was never a writer.

The courage of leadership is giving others the chance to succeed even though you bear the responsibility for getting things done.
