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.

People imitate their leader. Lead by example.

I gave up years ago on the concept that you could actually have balance in your life, I think it's a phantom chase.

Buy with your heart, not your head. You can look at all the aspects that make a purchase practical, but that kind of thinking makes it an investment rather than a home.

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.

Instead of assuming everything you're being told is the truth, ask plenty of questions.

Don't you dare underestimate the power of your own instinct.
