Other Quotes From the Chat with Bri Steck:
- “I think researching the marketplace, figuring out who are your competitors if there are any. What are you up against?

- “you really do have to put in just as much time or more than everybody else because you have to be a good role model to everybody around you. If they don’t see you doing anything why are they going to want to do anything. They have to respect you enough to want to work for you and work hard”
- “you are only as strong as your weakest link. And that goes back to hiring people and having the right people on your team”
- “working hard, setting a great example and having a great team around you will help make you successful”
- “push and push within reason to get what you want in life. You know what you want, you set that goal and you just keep working until you get there”
- “everybody has to be a team player; everybody has to help everyone else out. And if you have that sour Apple it’s not going to work out”
