Danh ngôn của Jon Taffer (Sứ mệnh: 5)

The infusion of technology and social marketing to bar spaces is a big opportunity.
Excuses destroy success every time.
The greatest gift of leadership is a boss who wants you to be successful.
Leadership cannot be taught. Either you're a leader by the time you're 12 years old, or you never will be.
When I was running the Troubadour, there was this transition from the classic singer/songwriter Jackson Browne types to bands like Black Flag, the Dead Kennedys, and Fear. Those are just some that come to mind. Oh, and Adam Ant! The Fear fans wanted to 'crush' the Ants. These guys hated each other.
I think success is a relative term. If you're a caveman, success is capturing an elephant. Success is achieving better than the norm. Success is being exceptional. It's exceptional reputation, exceptional income, and exceptional respect.
When you're on-stage, you're expected to perform in the bar business. You shake hands. You smile. You're all positive energy: you add to your environment. When you walk in the door to the back of the house, that's like a stage door. You're off-stage now.
Nine out of ten people who are failing blame their failure on somebody else. And that is the common denominator of failure.
When my company does a good job, we make people happy. They laugh, they smile, they have a good time - that's what we do for a living. Any business doing that is making a noble effort.
