I prefer to like the people I invest in, but it's not an absolute necessity, as long as they have a good mind and I know they'll do whatever it takes to be successful.

I always recommend, if you can, to patent or protect whatever your idea is. If you can't, you have to make your best judgment. Sometimes people don't get anywhere because they sit on something, so afraid to reveal it. And yet, in the reverse, sometimes if you expose something too widely, you can risk losing it.

You can make anything happen if you put your mind to it.

Ive been making products for so long, I have a gut feel for what is right - what will work and what wont. I can tell instantly if its a hero or a zero.

People trust I know what I'm doing. I have lots of credibility. I've had years of learning. I know and understand my business.

Entrepreneurship is the way we take control of our lives in a tough economy.

Entrepreneurialism is supposed to be fun!
