Work hard on your job and work harder on yourself

I think one of the mistakes typically with authors is they have written more books than they've read.

I think you have to read a lot. I think if you're going to write about something you better have read at least 100 books on that topic.

It is a solid business principle that people who enjoy what they do are better at what they do.

Don’t measure busywork. Don’t measure activity. Measure accomplishment. It doesn’t matter what people do as much as it matters what they get done.

You can’t step up to the next level as long as you keep one foot on the lower level.

Be the person others can count on to get things done
