This is the last breakdown for the entire week. I hope that you have enjoyed my breakdown of Jerry Maguire’s Mission Statement. I had a great time reading it in its entirety and loved sharing with you all some of my thoughts. If you would like to skip this segment and just read the whole document, you may do so by clicking here. If you missed Part 4, you can catch it here. Here are my bullet points from Part 5:
- “I am wondering what that exact moment is when we truly, truly love our jobs. Is it during the day, or at the end of the day, or is it years later looking back on all we accomplished? I think perhaps truly loving something is the ability to love it at that moment.”
- No commentary needed.
- “Let us work less hard to sign the clients that we know won’t matter in the long run, and work twice as hard to keep the ones who will.”
- Do a good job with the clients that you have and they will do anything in the world for you.
- “Let us start a revolution. Let us start a revolution that is not just about basketball shoes, or official licensed merchandise. I am prepared to die for something. I am prepared to live for our cause. The cause is caring about each other. The secret to this job is personal relationships.”
- This is what we are trying to do here. Nothing short of a revolution.
