If youre going to be at a job environment, you should love it. You shouldnt do it just for money. You should do it because you love it. And the money comes naturally.

What really fueled me, and maybe infuriated me, is that nobody believed in me. Nobody. I don't even think I believe in myself. Part of what I was trying to do was to make the decision to go into business and find the guts to see it through. I was told that when I went in to see the bankers that I was supposed to be very muted, that I was supposed to blend in, that I was supposed to have the typical drab suit on.

I love to brainstorm. I like to mentor. When you're starting out, especially as an entrepreneur, you really don't know what you're doing. You go out there and you try so many things. The key in the process, to me, is that you keep trying and you never give up.

The easiest thing any of us can do is give up. It doesn't matter how many no's you go through.

My role is to coach, encourage, inspire, motivate, and help people.

When somebody says, "You can't," I say, "Why not?"

Good enough never is. Set your standards so high that even the flaws are considered excellent.
