"Let me ask you this, Greg. How grateful are you to the people who helped you achieve your dreams?"
"Extremely," Greg conceded.
"Wouldn't you like your employees to be that grateful toward you?"
"Of course. Wouldn't anyone?"
"Can't you see how that would change the energy, attitude, and dynamic here at Admiral?"
"Sure I can, Simon, but ...
"Help your employees in the direction of their dreams and you will create the most dynamic environment in corporate America!"
"I was reading a story the other day about Henry Ford giving some guests a tour of his factory and offices. As they passed one door, there was a man with his feet up on his desk and his eyes closed. The guests asked Mr. Ford why he didn't seem to mind that this man was sleeping on the job. Ford replied that he wasn't sleeping, he was dreaming. 'Doesn't that bother you' they asked Ford. He replied 'No, he's just doing his job. You see, that man invested the six-cylinder motor and disc brakes. His job is to dream up things that my competitors think are impossible.'"
Mark Twain once wrote, 'Those who don't read great books are at no advantage over those who cannot read.' The same is true when it comes to money. Those who don't manage their money well are no better off than those who don't have money to manage.
Most people don't fail
because they want to fail;
they fail because they don't know how to succeed. Whether it's in their relationships or with their finances, people want to succeed.
