- I did not want it to be a non-profit. Non-profit is not scaleable.
- The tendency is to say “this doesn’t work.” I fell victim to that for a couple of weeks.
- Focus on why you started.
- I wanted to provide healthcare and that was what we were doing.
- The noise distracted me.
- Challenges do not mean that the dream is not working. The dream is working. Challenges are what they are and that is stepping stones, something that can move you to a greater place.
- We don’t discuss the times that we are so consumed with our challenges that we lose focus.
- Be flexible on how you get to your goal.
- Changing the HOW does not mean that we change the WHAT or the WHY.
- Collaboration – collaborate with those in alignment. Disassociate from parties that are misaligned. The focus is on the what. Be unwavering in what you want to achieve.
- Don’t be surprised when we face defeat, challenges or resistance.
- Challenges are part of a purpose-filled journey.
- We had too many people who were not helping us get to the goal. We had inflated costs that did not make sense. Most of those costs are associated were associated with people, people who were not leading us to our goal.
- You have to get to the point that you realize that it is not about you.
- If you are trapped in how people are thinking of you, it’s just noise.
- Did you start this organization for people to like you? Did you start this organization to start health care?
- There is no great leader without pain.
- Expect change, pain, challenges. Do not be surprised by them because it will paralyze you.
- Letting go of yourself, how you want things to pan out.
- Everything works together for good if you let it.
- I had to look at situations and say, “God, what are you trying to show me? What are you trying to teach me?”
- I started thinking when people left that the dream or the vision was not working. I needed to change my way of thinking.
- A vision can not be tied or dependent on any one single person. The vision needs to drive itself.
- That thing is what keeps you going, it moves you to greater heights.
- Is the failure fueled by our not expecting challenges, by us not taking a step back to address the how? If we are able to stand and take the criticism without being deterred, maybe we can encourage others.
- I want to inspire people to stay.
- Are you achieving? Are you doing what you set out to achieve?
