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.

Sometimes the best properties aren't necessarily the biggest properties.

It takes time, it's a grind. There are no shortcuts. You've got to grind and grind.

In business, to be a success, you only have to be right once.

There are no shortcuts. You have to work hard, and try to put yourself in a position where if luck strikes, you can see the opportunity and take advantage of it.

In these times of the "Great Recession", we shouldn't be trying to shift the benefits of wealth behind some curtain. We should be celebrating and encouraging people to make as much money as they can. Profits equal tax money. While some people might find it distasteful to pay taxes, I don't. I find it patriotic.

I love to compete. I want to get out there and kick your ass in the business world. That is what inspires me.
