Lesson #3: Dare to Take a Chance and Be the First
Monaghan is fond of saying, “I owe all my success to stupidity.” In reality, the emergence of Domino’s as a global pizza empire owes itself less to the fact that Monaghan didn’t know what he was doing, as to the fact that he was willing to take risks and gamble on ideas he couldn’t predict the odds or the outcome of.

This place is often called your “comfort zone.” Strange, isn’t it, to use the term “comfort zone” when being there can cause us to experience so much discomfort doing those things that cause stress and even illness?

Before the ending of that popular song- you know it - M-I-C- (see you real soon) K-E-Y... (why? Because we love you)... you could hear the back screen door slam. In walked my Dad. He was home.
