The one requirement for success in our business lives is effort. Either you make the commitment to get results or you don't.

You need a place where you can explain yourself. You can write as much or as little as you would like, but the words will be all yours. You can create the context. You can make sure that all issues are addressed. You can take issue with individuals or the media as a whole. Your words, your message.

I love to compete. To me, business is the ultimate sport. It's always on. There is always someone trying to beat me.

Don't get caught up in how many hours you work. Judge success based on having goals and measuring your results. Hard work, and lots of it, is certainly needed, but focus on what you get done.

I'm a big believer that you always reiterate, you always learn, you always realize your business is evolving.

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

On the Internet, there are an unlimited number of competitors. Anybody with a Flip camera is your competition. What makes it even worse is that YouTube is willing to subsidize the cost of your bandwidth. So anybody can create and distribute for free basically, but the real cost is marketing. And that's always the big cost - how do you stand out and what's the cost of standing out? And there's no limit to that cost.
