Sense of Urgency - always have it. Communicate

Compete hard. Do your job.

Be disciplined. Good is never good enough. Do it now. Tomorrow will have its own issues. Drop the ego - you're good, but not as good as you think you are. None of us are. Use social media for business and that's it. it's poison.
