3 Value Bombs

1) Don’t focus on becoming an expert on things that you don’t like.

2) Leaving a legacy is more than just leaving money to somebody; it’s leaving something of value that can change a life, a family, or a community.

3) When looking for a mentor or a partner, make sure you are not compromising your own character or values.
