People who start to experience success have short memories. When they start to slow down, a leader's job is to remind them of the hustle and grit they used to have. It's a not-so-subtle way of telling them that if they don't get back to their winning ways, they are heading for a fall.

Needing to overpay people or offer best-in-class benefits is often a symptom of not having a strong culture, just like needing to have the lowest price is a symptom of not having anything unique about your product.

Build a culture that fosters retention. You'll know it's working when people on your team are saying: "I can’t wait to be there. I’m making a difference and an impact. I’m having fun. And the leaders are delivering on their culture’s promise."

How often do you give the message of forgiveness? How often do you tell people that you don't walk on water, and you are human just like them?

Find a way to forgive others. If you feel stuck, start by forgiving yourself.

Lots and lots of quotes. One of my favorite parts of writing books is looking back at history and finding gems from leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, who said, "A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.

Stop trying to be the only voice. People will tune you out if you don't bring in others to get your message across. That includes books, videos, movies, and other leaders in your organization.

People in the hunt for something. These are the people who have your back and want to see you succeed. They're the only people you want to keep in your life long-term.

Let go of complainers and the people who tell you that you work too hard and should take it easy. Instead, lock on to the other winners who share your desire to do something big.
