Quotes:

• “Leadership and productivity often take the form of personal effectiveness. Leaders guide people. You might not associate that with productivity, but it’s about effectiveness.”
• “Everything starts with a decision.”
• “If you’re not serving, money will not help anybody.”
• “Productivity stems directly from mindset. Because if you don’t believe or don’t have that faith or feel weird, it’s so hard to be productive.”
