The skies were blue when I was coming up. I want my kids to have the same opportunity, if not better, than I had.

The definition of leadership is that you have to find great people and ask them to do extraordinary things. I've been doing that my whole life.

I remember failing reading in school at a young age, and you just kinda get left behind and I felt helpless.

So much of life is a negotiation - so even if you're not in business, you have opportunities to practice all around you.

I have had some great successes and great failures. I think every entrepreneur has. I try to learn from all of them.

Money is my military, each dollar a soldier. I never send my money into battle unprepared and undefended. I send it to conquer and take currency prisoner and bring it back to me.

I actually think being an entrepreneur is a state of mind. If you're going to be an entrepreneur, my thesis is that you have to sacrifice everything for some period in your life to be successful. You have to be myopic and completely focused and unbalanced in every way. Once you've achieved success, you're free to do whatever you like.
