NOTABLE QUOTES:

“Have quality time with your spouse and your family. It doesn’t matter how much time you have; it’s about how you make it count.”

“The one thing you can do that will almost bulletproof your marriage is to pray intentionally with each other.”

“As business owners, we waste more time than we realize. If you audit your time and where you’re spending it, are those areas productive? I guarantee you, 100% of the time, it’s not. In fact, only 20% of our time is actually spent on productive work. We need to flip the ratio to make 70% of our time productive.”

“Business is personal because it involves people.”

“What’s ordinary to you is magic to other people.”

“Actions speak louder than words. People want to be shown, not told.”

“The more you affirm someone, the better it is for the relationship.”

“The best leaders I’ve ever known have been the ones who, when something goes wrong, take the blame, even though they’re not at fault. And when things go right, they pass the praise on, even if they were the one who did it right.”
