3 Rules to Success
1. Love what you do & have passion.
2. Have good people around you.
3. Love to compete.





Building Work Ethic
Work ethic starts at home.
It begins with playing competitive sports at home, etc.
Don’t look back and say that you wish you tried or worked harder to 
   accomplish your dreams. 






Overcoming Obstacles
Realize that this is your chance to have your dream.
Take advantage of the situation.






Lead by Example
Have your door always open.
Be honest.
Listen. Work on your communication.
Push everyone to work hard. 





Excitement is contagious
They know you can do it.
Believe in each other. 
Believe in what you believe in.





Having a Common Goal
People do more when they feel comradery. 
When people rely on each other it builds dependability. 






Try to do a Better Job Every Day






Always be prepared
Try to be informed and prepared as can be to make the best decisions you 
   can make. 
Be competitive.






Identify People to Join the Team
You want people who want to be individually successful but able to see 
   the big picture for the team.
Be around the right people.
