Today’s reminder comes via page 77 of Donald Miller’s new book titled Building a Story Brand.
And I quote: “The day we stop losing sleep over the success of our own companies and start losing sleep over the success of our customers is the day our businesses will start growing again.”

I also will remind you of the difference between pro and amateur status.
I think you will get a gentle mind adjustment after thinking about today’s message/reminder.
