APPRECIATED.

INITIATIVE WHENEVER AND WHEREVER

• WHEN A DOOR OPENS DON'T WALK, RUN
THROUGH IT: HESITATION CAN RESULT
IN LOST OPPORTUNITY. A WILLINGNESS
TO TAKE RISK WILL BRING GREATER
REWARDS.

BETTER THAN A PERFECT PLAN NEVER
DELIVERED: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS
A PERFECT PLAN. ALWAYS STRIVE FOR
FORWARD MOTION.

• FIND A NEED AND FILL IT.
• NEVER BUY ANYTHING THAT
YOU CAN'T PAY FOR IN CASH.
