In New York City, the meek don't inherit the earth. The big mouth does.

I've never had a really creative idea sitting at my desk. All the big ideas that made a difference happened when I was playing outside.

The story of my billion-dollar business starts like this. I borrowed $1,000 from a friend.

In business, you're the Chief Salesman. Create a sense of demand, rather than waiting to have demand.

If you want to be noticed, dress the part.

What people ask for has nothing to do with the value of a property. You might see a listing for $300,000 and think you should make a $250,000 bid. But hyper-focus on what the house is worth. You should know what the house is worth by looking at comparable properties. Base your bid on that.

Empathy for the people you're working with and being aware of their needs...that's the "big kahuna" in managing people.
