The Strategic Consulting Partners team had an awesome evening sponsoring and attending Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC’s VIBE event last night, the largest in its history! Over 600 people came to network and hear from Jon Taffer, Thought Leader, Entrepreneur, Founder and Change Agent of Bar Rescue.

Here are 9 takeaways that resonated with our team, plus a bonus quote from a great mind.

1. All we talk about and focus on is success. At Bar Rescue, they learn about failure—that’s where growth happens.
2. Imagine if we all did just 10% better each day. It would make a huge difference in our business and revenue.
3. Great businesses create great, connective reactions.
4. People ask themselves why are you failing? Excuses paralyze us and prevent growth. Look in the mirror.
5. You didn’t run out of time; you chose to use time differently.
6. He who creates the greatest reactions wins!
7. Hire for excellence, never a resume. Attitude, willingness, positive nature, and energy are key traits to look for in new hires.
8. Mechanics don’t grow our business, connectivity does.
9. In challenging times, we do business with the people we trust.

And finally, some words to live by from Benjamin Franklin:

“If you do tomorrow what you did today, you will get tomorrow what you got today.”
