"I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure- Try to Please everybody."
Herbert Bayard Swope
You know, I have no idea who Herbert Bayard Swope is, but I'm guessing he was a dance studio owner to have come up with that profound quote :)
Honestly, this quote is something I wish could be something that was easy to live by. Most people are natural "pleasers". We try so hard to keep everyone happy that we often end up making everyone upset... especially ourselves. We live by a rule in this business... please the greatest amount of people in the long run. That last little part is most important because if you're only looking at pleasing them for the moment you're work will never be done. It's not an easy quote to live by, but if you can get a grip on it it makes your life a lot easier to live.
Happy Monday friends...
