“Focus. Establish a thread that defines your values, one that crosses every contact point of your value chain. Have this notion in your mind, constantly. Learn to draw significance in all you do from this ‘thread’. What this thread does is define your DNA; it teaches people how to treat you and sets you apart from all others. With this focus you’re able to define the journey you want to go on.”
