1
Be honest and act with integrity in everything you do.
We build relationships, not simply a portfolio of transactions.
2
Do what you say you are going to do and be transparent.
Communicate and act in a straightforward manner in all aspects of life.
3
Empower people and treat them with respect.
People are an invaluable asset, treat them as such and help them reach their full potential.
4
Strive for excellence.
Reputations are built over a lifetime, but can be lost in a moment.
5
Be appreciative of everything you have.
Success has many mothers, approach business with an equal dose of hunger, heart, humor, and humility.
