Operating principles
Principles I live by.
- It is always a NO until you ask.
- Character is everything. Money can be recovered; character, once lost, cannot.
- Action comes first. Motivation follows.
- Nothing beats hard work.
- No question is a stupid question. Ask when you are in doubt. The people who ask are the ones who learn and grow.
