What Sweden needs is less talk and more ‘Goddammit, let’s do it!’

‘It’s all talk and nothing but talk. Show me results! What Sweden needs is less talk and more ‘Goddammit, let’s do it!'”

While reminiscing through some old photos, I stumbled upon this absolute gem! 😃💎

I’ve got quite the collection of snapshots from the book “Only Those Who are Asleep Make No Mistakes – Fifteen crises that shaped IKEA.” 🛋️ 💡
Let me share a powerful quote from the book that strongly resonates with me:

🗣️ “The answer to that question takes us back to a Swedish banking conference in March of 2004. Kamprad is a reluctant participant, feeling he has been lured to the event. Finally, he tells the audience from the stage what he thinks about the whole thing. ‘It’s all talk and nothing but talk. Show me results! What Sweden needs is less talk and more ‘Goddammit, let’s do it!'” 🚀🇸🇪💪

And speaking of sharing, I just used Google Photos Lens integration to extract this fantastic tidbit from the picture 👀📷

So, what’s the takeaway from all this? 🤔💭

Simple: “Goddammit, let’s do it!” 🚀
