Quotes by Daniel Lapin
When you make yourself interdependent with other people in this way, as Jacob told his offspring to be, there’s no stopping you. Each of you can do something, but together all of you can do everything.
There is only one way to make money: finding out what other people want or need and then providing those things to as many of our fellow humans as possible. This is the only way to earn money, no matter your occupation.
Any dollar given to you voluntarily, no matter the physical form, is a certificate of performance and validation of a job well done.
The business professional also must value his employees as well, for they are his most valuable asset. He must attend to their welfare.
Human beings thrive when they are growing and developing and this requires discipline. Discipline and accountability keep us alive.
Similarly, in whatever enterprise you find yourself, practice predictability. Never impose your mood swings on your associates and customers. They should never be able to discover how your life is going. This is called being professional.
If you care about your customers as people – if you like, appreciate, and desire to serve them – you will be rewarded.
God created us with an urge for the infinite. We need to embrace it and never surrender to the seditious and spurious summons of contentment cowering in the sanctuary of security.
