Mario’s Success and Leadership Principles
1. Whatever happens within your company, it’s your fault — own it and don’t blame others.
2. Delivering outstanding quality for a client is more important than what they think is right. Never hesitate to point to “The Right Way”.
3. DevriX believes in three core pillars of a web project: Speed, Security and Stability.
4. Success is not a one-time thing — it’s a process. Building a long-term business relationship is the only way to provide real value and support the business efforts.
5. You’re doing entrepreneurship wrong if you’re in your comfort zone. Progress happens through experimentation, transformation, and innovation.
