What I do know, at least what I think I have learned from my experiences in business, is that when there is a rush for everyone to do the same thing, it becomes more difficult to do. Not easier. Harder.

Don't start a company unless it's an obsession and something you love. If you have an exit strategy, it's not an obsession.

I never look at the glass as half empty or half full. I look to see who is pouring the water and deal with them.

Never follow your dreams. Follow your effort. It's not about what you can dream of. That's easy. It's about whether or not it's important enough to you to do the work to be ready to be successful in that business.

I worked hard and smarter than most people in the businesses I have been in.

Executives should blog if they have a vision they are trying to communicate, or if they are very visible in the media.

I daydreamed for motivation. I didn't lie to myself and talk about my passions and how if I was passionate enough about something I could be successful at it.
