John’s 3 Key Take-aways

1. As entrepreneurs, don’t always be looking ahead for what’s new; rather, draw on what you’ve always known to be true in business that will not change, especially regarding the client experience.
2. Build your company to reflect your own values. Remember integrity isn’t universal, but it is among the most important traits to require of team members and stakeholders. Find people you can trust who are A-players.
3. Don’t assume the world is going to work as it always has. It’s critical to prepare for what’s on the horizon and to be ready with contingencies.
