I made so many mistakes in my first successful business I'm almost embarrassed to recount them.

Your bosses simply hate you. You created more and more value. They paid you less and less. That's the definition of disdain in my book.

Hold your breath. Try holding your breath for just thirty seconds. That’s all it takes. Try it right now while you are looking at this line. Now…on the twenty-ninth second, do any opinions matter?

Only free time, imagination, creativity, and an ability to disappear will help you deliver value that nobody ever delivered before in the history of mankind.

Investing is for wealth preservation, not wealth creation, so first you have to make wealth.

Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure.

The only skills you need to be an entrepreneur are the ability to fail, to have ideas, to sell those ideas, to execute on them, and to be persistent so even as you fail you learn and move onto the next adventure.
