Do something that matter for people who care - Seth Godin.
What Seth had said resonated with me over the past 40 years. With the businesses that I have had, we did things that matter for those who care. Differentiate your business. I'd like to encourage you today to do things that matter for the people that are carrying you in your industry. Do not waiver, stand on your core values! Stand on your principles and provide a great service. Decide on that you are and stick with that thing!

Have you ever noticed in pro sports or even college sports people how they win all the time? Do you know why they win all the time? They know how to recruit. They're the best recruiters on the planet. Those guys know how to pick the team. Why do we think it's any differently in our businesses? We go out and we get the cheapest person. You're like, "Hey, come on you're $12 an hour, we'll take you. You're $8 an hour. You're $20 an hour. You're $50 an hour." Whatever it is that you think is cheap, for whatever that you're having them to do, you pick that person rather than their passion, rather than their heart. You need to pick the right person. You need to go after the talent. The ones that have heart.

Listen, do you know how tough it is to come up with the money for your taxes and those huge expenses in your company?
For years I've even maybe decades I didn't have a good system for that. Well about a year and a half ago I was introduced to Profit First, Mike Michalowicz and I want to tell you just to be totally honest, don't tell Mike I said this, but I thought it was some kind of hoax or scam or something you know. I've like I'm skeptical about that kind of stuff until I start really digging in. Well, we read the book in the mastermind group together, it's called Profit First and I'm going to tell you, even after reading the book I thought now I'm not sure how much merit I'm gonna put into this thing. How much validity is really there till a lot of the guys started saying, "Now we're gonna do this." And I'll tell you, I can't even begin to tell you how many guys in the mastermind have implemented that strategy into their business.

We need to have that determination. We need to have that grit for us to succeed in our business. Don't get stuck in doing just one thing or two and just give up if things are getting bleak. Explore and try.
