Daily habit that contributes to success Nancy utilizes a daily wrap-up. Five minutes of disclosure at the end of the day helps everyone remain on the same page. Could have ruined your business -- but now --  an invaluable learning experience Jody had to strategize when Walmart moved into Canada -- and Jody tells the whole story here. Most critical skill you think business owners need to master to be successful “A business owner has to recognize their strengths, delegate their duties, and hire smart people.” Most influential lesson learned from a mentor “Building a strong team is essential to growing your business and getting out of the day to day operations.”     Final Round -- “Breaking Down the Recipe for Success”   What systems would you go back and put into place sooner? “I wish we would have implemented a CRM system when we first started the business.” What one strategy or “recipe” would compound into big wins for business owners? Make everyone happy -- under promise and over deliver. How to exceed expectations and add the most value? Orientation and integration -- You have to cross-pollinate by forming bonds with your co-workers. What strategy would you recommend new business owners focus on to best ensure success?
