“ I have what some people might call control issues. And I always have and since I was a kid, really, but the simple truth is that I can't do everything alone. So I have to empower the people that I choose to work with. See, it's not just about being in charge. It's about deciding how you want to be in charge. Look, you wanna walk out of here right now, that's fine. I understand. I'll keep taking your fives and your ones. I don't care. It makes no difference to me. But what you have to decide is just how big you want your business to become. And how much control you are willing to cede to get it there.”
