Marcus Lemonis : (3) " I’m not a seller. I’m a holder. " - Marcus Lemonis " I’m really not a great businessperson. I understand business, and I understand numbers, but I think what I understand more than that is people… Ultimately, I think businesses fail and people fail because they don’t have their act together. " - Marcus Lemonis " People are the core of every business. Businesses are based on relationships, and relationships are based on people. I would go to an average restaurant run by amazing people over an outstanding restaurant run by awful people. " - Marcus Lemonis
