Rules to live by in business: I learned that you are only as strong as your team is. In order to be a well-respected manager, you have to lead by example and truly appreciate the staff you work with. Also, understanding and accepting the fact that sometimes you, your business or your staff may face challenges but that is never an excuse to give up. What truly defines you and how successful you will be is determined by how quickly you bounce back and what you learn from your hardships.
