“Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.”

LEAD BY INFLUENCE AND EXAMPLEYour example is your influence

“TO LEAD PEOPLE, WALK BEHIND THEM”

COMMITMENT

“The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”

YOU CAN’T SOLVE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT THE FORMULA

SUCCESS – THE PROBLEM FAILURE – THE FORMULA

much you care."

more and become more.”

§ “Inspire people to have confidence in themselves.“

§ “Put the interest of others at the center of your decisions.”

§ "A person can have some talent and some character and have the
