"Capital isn't so important in business. Experience isn't so important. You can get both these things. What is important is ideas. If you have ideas, you have the main asset you need, and there isn't any limit to what you can do with your business and your life." Harvey Firestone

“I was encouraged with the content in the program. Already, as I have returned to the usual work week, I am finding ‘problems’ and thinking differently on how to approach them. What would we never do? Why not? Can we tweak that and apply it here? I have been sharing the basic concepts with my team and challenging them to think beyond our boxed-in ideas to find more creative solutions, it’s wonderful to see the spark in their eyes as they realize, I don’t have to stay in these limited walls, I can think beyond.”
