Whom to Invite to Your Table As you bring people to your table to share ideas, be selective about whom you pick. Choose people who Understand the value of questions Desire the success of others Add value to others’ thoughts Are not threatened by others’ strengths Can emotionally handle quick changes in the conversation Understand their place of value at the table Bring out the best thinking in the people around them Have experienced success in the area under discussion Leave the table with a “we” attitude, not a “me” attitude

The whole idea of motivation is a trap. Forget motivation.
Just do it. Exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or
whatever. Do it without motivation. And then, guess what?
After you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation
comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it.

You can't move people to action unless you first move them with emotion.... The heart comes before the head.

People with humility don’t think less of themselves; they just think of themselves less.

You never really know something until you teach it to someone else.

The company owner doesn't need to win. The best idea does.

Your life today is a result of your thinking yesterday. Your life tomorrow will be determined by what you think today.

If we are growing we are always going to be outside our
comfort zone.
