In life it wasn't what you know, but who you know. I had people who were trying to buy teams and had they bought the teams, I would have gotten to coach because they wanted me to coach. But the people who have the teams hire their friends. ↗

Most of the successful people I've known are the ones who do more listening than talking. ↗
