Business

 Three things Jimmy Buffett taught me about life and business.

1. Your work is what you do, not who you are.

2. Take your work seriously, but not yourself.

3. Never expect to get what you give–not everyone’s heart is as big as yours.

–  Howard Tullman

As human beings, we will make mistakes, but if we strive to be “moral, legal and ethical” as leaders, we will be in the best position to do the right thing. – Admiral William McRaven

I reject the notion that the job you excel at is somehow not enough to aspire to. – Lisa Fischer

Sometimes when we become successful we also begin to doubt our own accomplishments. This is often referred to “imposter syndrome”.  An unsubstantiated belief that we’re not worthy of our achievements and/or don’t stack up equally to our peers or family. I felt this every day until I left my family business. It was self-perpetuated and wasn’t resolved until I had enough money in the bank to silence my inner critic. I guess I needed to prove myself to myself. – Dad

If you really want to achieve long term success make it your mission to help those around you find it first. The rest will take care of itself. – Dad

To be successful you don’t need a beautiful face and heroic body, what you need is a skillful mind. – Rowan Atkinson
