The thrill of victory in business blows away the thrill of victory in sports. Business is a sport 24/7/365.

I think political people are afraid of me.

Never settle. There is no need to rush.

My businesses are usually built around challenging conventional wisdom, so I tend to gain by taking the other side. It's been very profitable and entertaining for me

Know your stuff. Have an angle. Know how to grow business, how to develop products, have patents and an undeveloped market that could be huge.

Make sure you are the boss. I don't think I would encourage executives that work for me to blog. There can be only 1 public vision for an organization.

Do your homework and know your business better than anyone. Otherwise, someone who knows more and works harder will kick your ass.
