This 4th of July, the United States celebrated its 239th birthday. Hopefully you’re reading this with memories of a holiday weekend filled with fun and relaxation with family and friends.
In honor of our founding fathers, I share a few quotes that apply to business, from some of the more notable men who signed one of the greatest documents ever drafted. It’s amazing that these concepts hold as true today as they did over 200 years ago.
Core Values never change….
“In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock”.
– Thomas Jefferson
The power of Effective Communication….
“The greatest ability in business is to get along with others and to influence their actions.”
– John Hancock
Keep your Mind Sharp….
“Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.”
– John Adams
Make Continuous Improvement part of your business…
“Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.”
– Benjamin Franklin
Remember Passion and Emotion trump logic and numbers…
“Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason.”
– Samuel Adams
