Clemons: “For you to lead you need to let go. When you don’t, everything slows down.” #PROFIT500

Clemons: “Don't manage your business—leave that to someone else. Your job is to *lead* your business.” #PROFIT500

“It’s imperative as leaders that we think for ourselves.” — @pinball #PROFIT500

“Technology has made us more selfish and separate than ever before.” People are craving human contact. @pinball #PROFIT500

“It is your sacrifice as entrepreneurs that makes the difference,” Clemons says — creating jobs, livelihoods, communities. #PROFIT500

Finishing out the day at the #PROFIT500 CEO Summit: Michael @pinball Clemons on how to Lead Like a Legend!

.@AnnKaplan_OwnIt: “The thing we do that’s really unusual these days is we answer the phone.” Getting a human builds loyalty. #PROFIT500

.@MikeSilagadze: “You can very easily build yourself into a specialized niche” that leaves your company vulnerable to change. #PROFIT500

“You can’t focus on just the perfect customers,” says @AnnKaplan_OwnIt — you miss out on millions in business at the margins. #PROFIT500
