Dedicate yourself to continuous personal improvement you are your most precious resource

Develop a clear vision for your organization. Where do you want to be in five years?

An attitude of positive expectation is the mark of the superior personality.

Imagine if your business burned down and you had to walk across the street and start again, what would you do differently?

The glue that holds all relationships together ... is trust, and trust is based on integrity.

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.

I think the critical thing is the product or service that you're trying to raise money for. And probably the best description of that, people should say when they hear, "This is what I want to do. This is what I want to bring to the market." They should say, "Gee! That's a great idea" or "Gee! Why hasn't somebody else thought of that before? Well, that's an incredible idea!" In other words, the more a person is delighted, or astonished, or happy with your product, or service, or idea, the more happy they are to put up money for it.
