Ricks message included notable take-aways such as “You may be on the right track, but if you’re not moving fast enough, you can still get run over!” RICK noted that you survive by making people need you work so not be ignored. Think about it, Sears was the original Amazon, Kodak and Blockbuster, BlackBerry failed to change during changing times. With noted focus on “your internal customer -- your employees”, they need to be treated better than your customers! Employees who are valued provide the best customer service. Rick wrapped up by saying “if you want to be happy for a lifetime be committed to serving others” . Remember how to spend your dash between birth and death, always have someone’s back and remember when you don’t give up you cannot have failed.
