“Be intentional in directing your thinking – our outcomes come first through our thoughts.”

Most influential lesson learned from a mentor

“Be interested, not interesting – you have to connect with customers.”

Final Round – “Breaking Down the Recipe for Success”

What systems would you go back and put into place sooner?

I would have started the “Dream. Think. Do.” process earlier – dream first, think second, and then do it.

What one strategy or “recipe” would compound into big wins for business owners?

Get clear on success – and have effective feedback loops.

How to exceed expectations and add the most value?

An individual would learn fast and limit risk – they need to be good communicators.

What strategy would you recommend new business owners focus on to best ensure success?

1. Ask yourself what success looks like for you personally – focus on yourself and you business
2. Direct your thinking – ask yourself what you want to do today
3. Ask yourself who you’re going to learn from – and answer the question every single day
