Sometimes you've got to do what you have to do, so later you can do what you want to do. Dave Ramsey says it like this: If you will live like no one else, later you can live and give like no one else.

When you're not doing work that makes you excited to get up and go in the morning, it takes a toll on you emotionally and physically.

Leadership is hard, but it doesn’t have to suck. And I’m going to stick to that.

I’m here to help, leaders. It’s pretty simple: Do what you do best. Hire and delegate for the rest.

The secret to getting promoted is to care deeply about what you're doing and take care of business every day— patiently. Focus there, and your career ladder will take care of itself.

There are plenty of people who don’t see your worth. Don’t be one of them.

You were created to contribute. Keep showing up.

Sometimes the harder you’ve had to work to get to the peak, the greater the temptation is to start coasting once you get there.

Coasting is only possible if you’re headed downhill. Don’t fall for it.
