Excellent advice from Vern.
And by the way, did you know that McDonald's employees are generally valued because McDonald's is such a well-run company?

And a willingness to take risks...often huge risks... Vern is exactly right. If you don't have a passion for your product or service, there is no foundation to get you through the long hours and challenges ahead.
Lecture over.
