“If there are challenges in the business, you need to shine a light on that. I’m trained in the EOS method to enter the danger. And so it isn't always fun, but in the end, we usually get a good result.” – Mark Stanley Share on X “Vulnerability is not weakness. Vulnerability is a strength because it draws people together as a community.” – Mark Stanley Share on X “Magic occurs when you take the creative and adventurous entrepreneurial spirit and pair that with the process discipline.” – Mark Stanley Share on X “If you want to scale and grow, start with a good foundation by taking your vision and then put it into a process so that it's repeatable.” – Mark Stanley Share on X “I always want to create an extreme amount of value first and foremost. I believe that you shouldn’t get paid unless you're creating value for others.” – Mark Stanley Share on X “The power of getting all of your leadership team one hundred percent on the same page with your vision is pretty powerful.” – Mark Stanley Share on X “Often, our past history, our relationships, things we've done before actually block our future.” – Mark Stanley Share on X “All of these ‘shoulds’ are baggage that weighs us down. Don’t say ‘I should’ or ‘I shouldn’t.’ Just go do it. Or don’t do it.” – Mark Stanley Share on X “Mastery takes a certain amount of discipline. It's a little bit over a long period of time. This is the route of the master.” – Mark Stanley Share on X
