If it took seven days to make a living with a restaurant, then we needed to be in some other line of work.
employ forty motivate people thousand various work
I motivate what I see in young people because we employ about forty thousand young people in our various Chick-fil-A units. Some of them come to work because they need to work; others just work because they just like to work. There's nothing wrong with that.

I have people say, 'I'll come to work for you for free,' and I tell my employees they have to compete with that.

You don't have to be a Christian to work at Chick-fil-A, but we ask you to base your business on biblical principles because they work.

I had to create some good work habits and attitude.

Learn to love your work and you'll never have to 'work' again.

Sometimes success is disguised as hard work.

We live in a changing world, but we need to be reminded that the important things have not changed, and the important things will not change if we keep our priorities in proper order.
