More quotes by John Fairclough
Complacency doesn't make sense for a guy trying to redefine normal.
John Fairclough
Much of the world is focused on answers. This unfortunate. Situations change, the earth turns, and our needs fluctuate. Focusing on static answers puts one at a disadvantage. Empower yourself by searching for the right question as if it were a buried treasure and treasures will find you.
John Fairclough
Change needs practice. And practice needs patience.
John Fairclough
The clearer you are about why you want to accomplish a goal, the easier it will be to figure how to accomplish it.
John Fairclough
I'm the CEO. My job is to get out of the way. I work with smart people and trust they can accomplish their goals. So I make sure to focus on removing roadblocks for them and then resume getting out of their way.
John Fairclough
When your team questions your competence, your ability to influence is shot.
