I like to wake up and just feel gratitude. Gratitude for waking up, for my health, for my kids, for my family. A lot of times in the evening, I'll write down what my goals are for the next day; When I wake up, I look at that list again. I meditate.

I hadn't learned to read by third grade, which wasn't unusual for some kids. I knew something was wrong because I couldn't see or understand the words the way the other kids did. I wasn't the least bit bothered - until I was sent back to the second-grade classroom for reading help after school.

Confidence is overrated. It's when we're uncomfortable and looking for answers that we learn and grow the most.

Good salesmanship is nothing more than maximizing the positive and minimizing the negative.

I got along with people very well at every job I had, people liked me and I liked them and I loved being on my feet.

I've seen innovation come from something as simple as a resourceful multibillionaire who wanted to make even more money.

The joy is in the getting there. The beginning years of starting your business, the camaraderie when you're in the pit together, are the best years of your life. So rather than being so focused on when you get big and powerful, if you can just get the juice out of that... don't miss it.
