I never thought I'd ever do a pirate bar, to be honest with you.

In the thirty years of my career I learned everything about success, but I did not learn, really, about failure. In Bar Rescue I got exposed to failure at a very deep level.

There is not one obstacle standing in the way of your success anymore.

The fact of the matter is: when you're doing a project, you try to make it better every moment. And a lot of people get frustrated. But I surrounded myself with a good team of people and I'm really proud of the work we've all done. All I can say is - I've learned this in my business - don't let the process frustrate you; focus on the end. Because the end is pretty wonderful. Just fight it out.

I don't accept excuses, only solutions.

Your ‘brand’ is what your customers think of you, not what you think of you.

If you had a dime for every excuse you made, I wouldn't have to be here right now.
