One thing I learned from writing this book is I have a few dozen, maybe a hundred unique ideas and I put them all in the book.

I don't have another book in me.

This is my only book.

I'm not writing another book.

At least that's not my plan because I don't think I could come up with another hundred things that are unique and special and different.

But I did put down in that book every single thing that I think at least was responsible for the success that my teams and I have had.

How did you get the book done so fast?

concentration, just really focusing on that.

And so that's the way we've done everything in business is having a clear vision of what we're trying to achieve and then laser focus on that.

So we talked earlier about the acknowledgement section where I listed various mentors and friends and people I've met that I've learned important things, life-changing things.

And

One of them I mentioned is Louis DeJoy.

One of the people is now the Postmaster General of the United States.

And I got to know Louis pretty well because I bought his company and he was on my board of directors for a while before he went into government service.

And what I learned from Louis was laser focus on the things that matter and avoid distractions.

He would say that over and over again.

So let's, oh, that's a distraction.

When he was running a meeting, there was an agenda and it was something that came in that was just not helpful to what we're trying to achieve.

He would say, no, let's refocus.

Let's stay focused on the points.
