Most great entrepreneurs I know are nothing like the other kids. They're almost like tangent lines - those lines that seem to go nowhere. Nothing connects them, until they get out in the real world. Then they connect just fine.

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.

If someone doesn't fit in your company, you have an obligation to get rid of them, because you're holding them back from excelling elsewhere.

The difference between the real winners is how long they take to feel sorry for themselves. My winners feel it... but they come back up and say 'hit me again.'

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