Quotes by Carlos Wallace

DOOR MONEY” To focus on door money means one is paying so much attention to the amount of money they are making at the door they do not consider there is much more profit to be made inside a venue.

People who are distracted by door money, neglect the production and the audience. Money becomes their god. They sacrifice their reputation in favor of building revenue. Believe me; the former is more difficult to recover if lost.

Becoming accomplished at what you do is no easy task, nor is the goal reached in a day. The process is time consuming, requires dedication, innovative ideas, meticulous strategizing and can be quite tedious at times.

I just follow Gods lead. One step, one day and one opportunity at a time. The hardest part is not becoming distracted.

To lead is a privilege, not an entitlement. It doesnt make you better than anyone; it helps you bring out the best in everyone. Accolades dont inspire a leaders vision; theyve set their sights on the success of others. Leaders bypass shortsightedness and focus on the big picture. Leaders who always stand righteously never stand alone.
