Memorable Quotes

“You’re gonna get really good at what you do, and you’re not gonna have to sell yourself because the work you’re doing sells you already.” [00:28:18] – Dr. Gus Vickery 

“Value is returned for value. Bottom line. Not just because you’re a doctor, not just because you offer different services that are in demand—you have to create value for the people you’re serving. Always. And that’s the first principle always. If you’re not creating values, it’s not gonna return to you.” [00:32:25] – Dr. Gus Vickery
