Focus on building the best possible business. If you are great, people will notice and opportunities will appear.

I'm a believer that you accomplish much, much more with direct relationships than by using an intermediary. And that cash you keep in the bank can be the difference between staying alive as a small business, or not.

It is called working your ass off. The difference is what you are willing to sacrifice.

There is always going to be someone out there that knows they have to compensate for maybe having less talent with harder work and preparation.

What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur? It takes willingness to learn, to be able to focus, to absorb information, and to always realize that business is a 24/7 job where someone is always out there to kick your ass.

We don't sell wins or losses. The one thing you can't control in sports is which games you are going to win or which games you are going to lose. But what I could control was the experience the fans have.
