Notable Quotes:
- We need momentum in our lives as a leader to continue to carry us forward, to move us from project to project, from opportunity to opportunity.
- The ripple effect happens once something is actually cast into the stillness. So if there is stillness, there has to be a casting or a disruption of that stillness in order to create the ripples.
- Too many people are trying to drive a parked car. Don't be that person trying to drive a parked car thinking that you're gonna get somewhere you are not.
- If you want to be a great retail leader, you have to be abnormal.
- When you lose momentum, you become vulnerable to distractions.
- When you are trying to fix something within your market, the best thing that you can do is to go back to the best practice.
- You don't know if something is broken until you understand the operational boundaries in which something should exist.
