Believe in Better

Editor’s Note: What we found particularly powerful is Stafford’s emphasis on continuous improvement; his approach encourages readers to view growth as an ongoing journey rather than a destination.

The book Believe in Better: The Evolution of Core Principles That Pioneered an Industry by Damon Stafford provides a comprehensive guide on how to excel in various aspects of business through the relentless pursuit of improvement. Each chapter focuses on a different principle, offering practical advice, personal anecdotes, and cautionary tales to emphasize the importance of striving to be better. Through a blend of personal experiences and fairy tales, Stafford illustrates how authenticity, hard work, selling skills, empathy, teamwork, decisive action, transparency, profitability, effective processes, and embracing change can lead to sustained business success.
