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

\u201cWished I would have applied the strategy of interviewing people 10 years ago. I cannot imagine the size of the network I would have by now had I started sooner.\u201d

What one strategy or \u201crecipe\u201d would compound into big wins for business owners?

Build your own personal board of advisors by studying the books from all of the top people you want to learn from -- and share those resources with your employees to facilitate continuous learning. Then take immediate action on what was learned.

How to exceed expectations and add the most value?

Hire people who are master networkers and excellent at strategically selecting people they want to spend time with, interview them, and expand their sphere of influence in the process.

What strategy would you recommend new business owners focus on to best ensure success?
  1. Never take \u201cno\u201d for an answer. You need to eat rejection for lunch.
  2. Believe in \u201cyou\u201d even when no one else does. Ignore the naysayers.
  3. Break through the fear and pursue your big dreams.
