Other Quotes From the Chat with Mike Perry:

• “the challenge of every business is cashflow”
• “I think having a business plan is critical to the success of any business. It is not ironclad, you have to be flexible, you have to be able to change when things warrant it”
• “without a plant you can’t tell you’re doing good and you can’t tell you need to turn. If you have a plan and you know what you should be doing you can say yes we are right on target or you can go wow we are not achieving this, what’s the problem, what can we do different, where do we need to adjust. And then you can make adjustments”
• “you have to put in the time, you have to work”
• “you have to do something you enjoy doing, you have to have a plan and you have to execute”
• “those really long days do not matter because they are enjoyable, I love what I’m doing”
