Cultivate your desire for success to be greater than the fear of failure; Failure is merely a pitstop between where you stand and success. Failure allows you to learn the fastest; Failure inspires winners and defeats losers.

Profit isn't and shouldn't be the mission of business. The mission of business is to help people. To help your customers, your co-workers, your employees, and your partners. Success is not a number - it's not X dollars or Y customers - it's a measurement of VALUE.

Maybe you can't play over your head at all. Maybe it's just potential you never knew you had.

It's a lonesome walk to the sidelines, especially when thousands of people are cheering your replacement.

Leadership must be demonstrated, not announced.

If you wait for the right time or the good times to start a business, you wait all your life.

Ignoring facts does not make them go away.
