Face to Face

"Good things come to those who wait, but it’s only what’s left from those that hustle"

There’s no short cut to success, it's built on hard work and dedication. If you think sending a few emails and making a few phone calls are all you need to be successful, you're going to have a short career. There's tons of information at your fingertips, view their profile on LinkedIn and find out all the information you can before calling. Try to set a meeting or meet for coffee because Face to Face wins every time.

First Things First

"Effective Leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out"

You have recognize that every out-front maneuver you make is going to be uncomfortable. If you hire people just because they can do the job, they’ll work for your money, but if you hire who believes, they’ll work for you with blood, sweat and tears. You aren't going to save the world on your own, but you might inspire a group of leaders that help.

Talk the Talk

"The more technology advanced our society becomes, the more we need to go back to the basic fundamentals of human contact"

Avoid bad people and the tempting IN-Box Zero. Skip email on occasion, pick up the phone and have a conversation from time to time. You'll learn more in a 10 minute conversation than entire days email exchange. The connection you make by talking to someone is priceless. Never forget that people buy from people, so losing the human touch could cost you business.

Busy Beavers

"Don’t confuse activity with progress"

In today’s world we are over inundated with emails, texts, phone calls and personal issues. Just because you're busy it doesn't mean you're productive. Slow down, focus and prioritize on what's important, because working smarter is more efficient than working harder. Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

"What you do speaks so loudly that I can’t hear what you’re saying"

Your actions will tell people what you believe, sometimes you don't have a chance to explain them. Act the way you want to become until become the way you act. You never get a second chance to make a first impression
