It’s easy to make decisions when you know what your values are. – Roy
If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough. – jeff
Profit was the goal for Roy. For Walt, profit was the reward.
Walt and Roy were a great duo.
Operationally, profit as the reward is the only scalable, sustainable, long-term way to engage the hearts of the people doing the hard work. With an engaged heart, you’ve got a committed (versus a strictly compliant) team member.

You are the CEO of You, Inc.
