If there was a template for success in sports, everyone would follow it. You do the best you can and trust the people you trust.

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

I look at my annual budgets for everything and anything, and I look to see where I can save the most money on those items. Saving 30% to 50% buying in bulk - replenishable items from toothpaste to soup, or whatever I use a lot of - is the best guaranteed return on investment you can get anywhere.

The beauty of success, whether it’s finding the girl of your dreams, the right job or financial success, is that it doesn’t matter how many times you have failed, you only have to be right once.

Business is the ultimate sport. In business, as in sport, the one thing you can control is effort.
