If you're not booked, you're not any good!

I'm not so good at just throwing out facts and figures and education and all that. I tell stories to captivate, that give people... that touch people emotionally.

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.

Everything has a price, including both success and failure. Choose either one and be prepared to pay the price.

When you miss the target, never in history has it been the target's fault. Ya gotta take responsibility!

I think it's easy to get a book in a bookstore. I think it's just damn near impossible to get a book out of a bookstore.

I think it's more helpful to keep your books sort of a singular focus. Get it said, get it said well, fascinate people with your words and then write another book.
