Wisdom Nuggets

• Solving Problems: Success does not come by stepping over others. If you want to be successful, find a way to solve problems that people need. The more relationships you can build and the more people you can help, you will start to grow and become a person that everyone goes to.
• Being A Good Leader: A good leader is trusted by their team. They are people that are involved and easily approachable, not a person that is over everyone with a whip. When you build relationships with your team and lead by example, they will follow your actions. This is a key factor in building organisations that grow to over 100 people and have a thriving culture.
• Educate Your Customers: At Asphalt King, they educate their customers before, during and after they purchase. When you empower your customer to make an informed decision and add value to their life not only by your service, but also by their interaction with you, they are going to have far greater loyalty.
