Put your heart into it

Coin vs Quan. If you think business is all about crunching numbers and cutting deals, you're wrong. At its core, it's about heart. Loving the process. Loving your product. Loving the "game".

You either get the "feels" or you don't. I do. My company, Spinzo, did not become a success overnight. It took 10 years of "heart", not just mine, but those of many, who helped along the way. They know who they are, and I love them all for their contribution and moral support.

When you put your heart into business, decisions come easier. You pursue the right path, one that builds a legacy that stands the test of time.

I encourage everyone in business to lead from the heart. Do what's right, for legacy, not for short term convenience.

If you've seen the movie Jerry Maguire, Rod Tidwell tells Jerry it's not about "coin" but "quan".

Rod: "Some dudes will have the coin, but they will never have the quan.”

Jerry: “But, what’s the quan”?

Rod: “It means love, respect, community… and the dollars too. The entire package. The quan!"
