Quotes
“Where your focus is at is where your business is at. And you've got to focus on growing your business. And that means growing your people, growing your assets, and growing operations.” – Charles Kirkland
“Cash will solve most of your problems in business. If you've got the cash, you hire the best people and the best consultants, your business becomes sellable. Without cash, it's all very painful.” – Charles Kirkland
“Document everything you do. Even if I were starting off today, I would document. Because there's nothing worse than having to recreate something every time. If you've got to respond to those types of operations every time from scratch, it's going to drain that creative mental energy.” – Charles Kirkland
