Decide what your priorities are and how much time you'll spend on them. If you don't, someone else will.

It isn't the quality of the ideas you have that will determine whether you make a success of them, it's the qualities you bring to those ideas.

Delegating doesn't mean passing off work you don't enjoy, but letting your employees stretch their skills and judgment.

Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.

If you can't say yes, it's no. Don't sugarcoat it. Don't talk yourself into yes just to seem like a nice guy. No one ever went broke because he or she said "NO" too often.

It's way easier to stay in the comfort zone, especially when things are going good than to go out on a limb and take some risks. My philosophy is exactly the opposite: Sometimes it's risky not to take a risk.

To me, job titles don't matter. Everyone is in sales. It's the only way we stay in business.
