There are only two ways to grow a business: capital or debt. You choose which one you want to use. If you have a million dollars in capital, it's easier to grow a business. If you can access a million dollars in debt, it's much the same - the key is having capital to fuel growth.

Success Isn't Reserved for Special People

I saw other people doing it and thought, “They’re not smarter than me. They don’t work harder than me. They don’t have anything special. We’re all human.” If I could do it - smuggled into this country at five years old without speaking English - the opportunities are endless.

Don’t base your worth on business success

I’m not going to base my worth on whether my business works or not. I’m grateful it’s been successful, and the Lord has blessed our business and our people. But at the end of the day, that’s not how I value myself. The business could go away tomorrow, and I’d still be okay.

People buy when they trust you can solve their problem

Every deal ultimately comes down to one question: do they believe you're the best partner to solve their problem? You can't just tell them - you have to show them. Demonstrate your product, prove it works, and provide strong references. The hardest stage is the beginning, when no one has used your solution yet. Once you have happy customers, their trust becomes your greatest sales tool.

Spend 90% on your job and 10% on your career

If you spend 100% of your time on your job, you'll do a great job - but no one will see you moving beyond it because you're not building your future. If you spend only 80% on your job and 20% on your career, you won't do your current job well enough. The right balance is about 90% on your job and 10% on your career - making connections, learning, and preparing for the next level.
