#1 Leadership is not a title. It’s not a nameplate. It’s not a set of awards. It’s not your LinkedIn profile. Leadership is being a visionary, a clear communicator, and a decisive leader.
#2 I was born in Armenia, a tiny country on what used to be the southernmost part of the Soviet Union. My family escaped to Italy, and then America, in 1980. I remember thinking the whole airport was a city when I landed in New York.
#3 I was six years old when my family arrived in America. I was never good at school, and I would often runaway to the apartment where my family was staying. I would escape from school and run toward the apartment, where my mom would drag me back.
#4 I had a difficult time adjusting to school in America. I was constantly bullied and had bad grades, but the teachers just passed me along to the next grade. I eventually went to the Marine Corps recruiter’s office in Anaheim, California, and was told I had flat feet.

#1

Leadership is not a title. It’s not a nameplate. It’s not a set of awards. It’s not your LinkedIn profile. Leadership is being a visionary, a clear communicator, and a decisive leader.

#2

I was born in Armenia, a tiny country on what used to be the southernmost part of the Soviet Union. My family escaped to Italy, and then America, in 1980. I remember thinking the whole airport was a city when I landed in New York.

#3

I was six years old when my family arrived in America. I was never good at school, and I would often runaway to the apartment where my family was staying. I would escape from school and run toward the apartment, where my mom would drag me back.

#4

I had a difficult time adjusting to school in America. I was constantly bullied and had bad grades, but the teachers just passed me along to the next grade. I eventually went to the Marine Corps recruiter’s office in Anaheim, California, and was told I had flat feet.

#5

I have failed at many things in my life, from school to business. But I never was afraid of hard work. I got my first job at the age of thirteen at a local mom-and-pop grocery store. I spent all the money I earned from those jobs to start businesses.

#6

I worked as a busboy at the Carnation Café, and I hated it. But I learned a lot from that experience, including the difference between a great leader and a mediocre one. The lesson of poor leadership came in the form of a sour-faced manager named Kathy.

#7

I learned that I wasn’t made to take illogical orders from a leader whom I didn’t respect. I could deal with it only as long as I needed to, and then I had to find another way.

#8

When you turn something unpleasant into a game, you’ll be surprised how far it can take you. When you turn something that is stressful and low-paying into a game, you’ll be surprised how much you enjoy it.

#9

After working at Disneyland for seven years, I quit and went into personal training full-time. This time, I had a mentor: Jim Franco, a client who was a self-made millionaire and had started an automotive software business. I learned everything I could from him about entrepreneurship.

#10

The story of how entrepreneurs got to their successes is often overlooked. They don’t want to talk about the crappy jobs they’ve had or the awful bosses they’ve had to deal with, but those valleys make the peaks worth it.

#11

All great entrepreneurs have great mentors. They have people they study and look up to. Who is the person in your life that you’re studying and learning from. When do you experience flow. When does the time fly by for you.

#12

I had to fix this. I had become obsessed with finding the cheapest way to do things, and this led to poor self-esteem and a negative self-image. I had to change this.
