Revolutionizing Your Business by Balancing Success & Ethic with Damon Burton

Put your people first, and everything else shall follow.

Kevin welcomes Damon Burton, a successful entrepreneur, and speaker who believes that relationships are the most valuable asset an entrepreneur can possess. Please tune in to hear his journey from learning HTML in high school to building a website called Elite Rides as a passion play and then transitioning into web design, marketing, and eventually becoming an entrepreneur. Hear how he could take the calculated risk of going all-in on himself, and it paid off - within two to three months, he could make up for his financial losses. Discover the importance of valuing relationships in business through Damon's experiences with two different employers who taught him that greed and a lack of appreciation for team members could have negative consequences.

Quotes:

"I've learned more from seeing what other people have done wrong than by being told what to do right." - Damon Burton

"I apply the value of relationships in my family and your spouse and your kids to my team members and look at them as people first. Of course, I want them to be productive. And, of course, I want to make money. But if I care for them first, then I get all those other things as a given." - Damon Burton
