QUOTES:

"I think to become healthier, we needed to be less in those roles and a lot more in coaching. We needed to be really clear and up front. ‘Where is our target? How are we going to get there? What is it we want?"

"We had no backup plans. It’s just how we were rolling."

"We need to demand the personal side of life to serve us in business and vice versa."

"When I leave the house, I’m crystal clear about why I’m leaving. [...] It’s to go make a profit."

"If we speak of opportunity, we speak of coaching."
