Most people think money is the key to reducing risk. Prepartion is.

Ideas are easy. I've never met a single person who didn't think they had a world class idea. The hard part is making it a business.

Being rich is a good thing. Not just in the obvious sense of benefitting you and your family, but in the broader sense. Profits are not a zero sum game. The more you make, the more of a financial impact you can have.

I still work hard to know my business. I'm continuously looking for ways to improve all my companies, and I'm always selling. Always.

I think political people are afraid of me.

In the past people used to tell me to shut up a bit. But what I believe is to put out your opinion and let everyone else react. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. People are afraid to put out their opinions and get push back.

Just watch. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. When you try to take it too far, people turn the other way. I'm just telling you, when you've got a good thing and you get greedy, it always, always, always, always, always turns on you. That's rule No. 1 of business.
