My notes from Dave Ramsy's EntreLeadership talk at Family Reunion:
It's about helping people and building people up and getting a tip.
Don't apologize for being successful
If anyone has a problem with your success tell them to Shut Up.
Business matters 5 x 5

- If you screw up how does that effect others?
- If you make a bad decisions how does that effect others?
