You know you're doing what you love when Sunday nights feel the same as Friday nights.

There are agencies who are good losers, places where losing is not only accepted, it becomes part of the culture, it is expected. That is debilitating. Don't let that happen to you. At Deutsch we go into every pitch assuming we are the Yankees. It's amazing what happens when you go into a room of smart, hungry people and say, "Failure is not an option." People are galvanized.

That outgrowth of arrogance comes at a price: some people don't like is. I take responsibility for that.

It's a very simple thing on the make-or-break decision, it's the guy, and that's what separates the great leaders and great successes, and if you don't listen to it, you don't have it, you're never gonna get it, 'cause it's never gonna come from someplace else.

When you see someone who has turned his passion into a profit, ask yourself, ‘Why not me?

There are moments in business and in life when you have to say, "Failure is not an option."

I've always managed by walking around. Any CEO or leader who spends the majority of his time in his office is not doing his job.
