  • "Do you know why must companies aren't loyal to their company and leadership? Because their company and leadership aren't loyal to them. This statement is so true because I've worked for a company and CEO that once used all the principles talked about in this book. Now it's totally the opposite and I couldn't be more disgusted with it. Dave's book is great for anyone wanting to start a business to a manager wanting to improve his teams performance to a current CEO looking for advice."

      " Concepts that are very sound no matter what type of business you have. The constant emphasis on passion and vision were refreshing. Lots of emphasis on making sure that those around you not only understand the vision but that they are infused by it also. I would recommend this book to anyone starting a business or trying to revive an existing business. "
