Quotes
“What got you to where you are won’t take you to the next level. If you're attached to that because it worked before, and it made you successful, you might think that’s how you need to keep going. But that’s not true—you need to come up with new and different ways to move forward.” – Paul Lemberg
"If you want to hand your business over to someone else to run it the way you do, you have to cover all the bases. If you don’t, they might reach a critical aspect of running the business and not know how to handle it." – Paul Lemberg
“’No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy.’ I don’t rely on long-term strategic plans.” – Paul Lemberg
