The biggest challenge in business is not the competition, it's what goes on inside your own head

My mother is an amazing woman. Not only did she manage the entire household, she noticed a gift in each of her kids and instilled confidence in all of us that that gift would take us wherever we wanted to go.

I think of my business and investments as extension of my family.

I have found, whether you have a tiny business or a big business, if you don't jump on something right away, it's like a bird flying by-it flies off.

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

If your house has been on the market for more than four months, take it off the market and re-list it in two months as 'new.'

Don't you dare underestimate the power of your own instinct. Instinct is a lifesaver for sharks and entrepreneurs alike. Most people can recall times they ignored their gut only to regret it later. Learning to actually listen to your instinct is a great form of self-preservation. It's both incredibly easy and tough at the same time, but worth the effort to master.
