"In the business world, you look at the old bell curve of a business," he said in November of 2015. "You've got the birth. You've got the growth. You've got plateau. You've got decline. And you've got death. Those great businesses out there, those great programs, they don't plateau. So how do you do that? You have to constantly reinvent, reinvest, reset, learn, grow. You change. You have to do that. You don't just change to change, but you have to always challenge yourself each and every year and make sure, 'OK, this may be how we've done it, but is it still the right way?' At least ask those type of questions.
"I think every successful business, every consistent program, that's a mentality. You can't be satisfied. Because just as soon as you think you've arrived and you're satisfied, then you plateau and then the next thing you know you're on that decline. Now you're not paying attention to the little things. You don't have the sense of urgency because you're fat and happy. And then it's death. The business is closed, or whatever."
