Never build yourself up by tearing another down.

My brand was always going to be based on my personality. I didn't want people hiring me for what I said. I wanted them hiring me for who I am.

Learn what you are good at and exploit it in service to others.

You are not paid to work hard. In fact, you are not paid for effort at all. You are paid for results. It's not what you do; it's what you get done.

Don't be different. Different scares people. People won't spend their money on different. They will, however, pay a premium for unique.

I have discovered that enemies will buy your books as much as your fans buy your books because they're looking for something new to hate you for.

Make yourself happy and surround yourself with people who are cool with that.
