27. Succession plan...
Succession planning is a process for identifying and
developing internal people with the potential to fill key
business leadership positions in the company. Succession
planning increases the availability of experienced and
capable employees that are prepared to assume these roles
as they become available.

29. Most people think it’s all about
the idea.
IT’S NOT.
Everyone has ideas... The hard
part is to execute on the idea.
-Mark Cuban
