If everybody is doing it one way, there's a good chance you can find your niche by going exactly in the opposite direction.
From Sam Walton
What am I supposed to haul my dogs around in, a Rolls-Royce?
Capital isn't scarce; vision is.
I learned this early on in the variety business: You've got to give folks responsibility, you've got to trust them, and then you've got to check on them.
You can make a lot of mistakes and still recover if you run an efficient operation. Or you can be brilliant and still go out of business if you're too inefficient.
High expectations are the key to everything.
Maybe I was born to be a merchant, maybe it was fate. I don't know about that. But I know this for sure: I loved retail from the very beginning.
Loosen up, and everybody around you will loosen up.
If you love your work, you'll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you - like a fever.
Share your profits with all your associates, and treat them as partners. In turn, they will treat you as a partner, and together you will all perform beyond your wildest expectations.
