Innovation is not a big breakthrough invention every time. Innovation is a constant thing. But if you don't have an innovative company [team], coming to work everyday to find a better way, you don't have a company[team]. You're getting ready to die on the vine. You're always looking for the next innovation, the next niche, the next product improvement, the next service improvement. But always trying to get better.

Business is a game, and as with all games, the team that puts the best people on the field and gets them playing together wins. It's that simple.

Creative artists have great passion.

What Sam Walton did was to go into one of the most mature industries of all and find a way to make it grow, grow, grow, double-digit, month after month, year after year. He did it by innovation, customer focus, and above all, speed.

If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete.

Any company trying to compete...must figure out a way to engage the mind of every employee.

In real life, strategy is actually very straightforward. You pick a general direction and implement like hell.
