While some people might find it distasteful to pay taxes, I don't. I find it patriotic.

What I’ve learned is that if you really want to be successful at something, you’ll find that you put the time in. You won’t just ask somebody if it’s a good idea, you’ll go figure out if it’s a good idea.

Know your core competencies and focus on being great at them. Pay up for people in your core competencies. Get the best. Outside the core competencies, hire people that fit your culture but are cheap.

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.

The sport of business is the ultimate competition. It's 7 × 24 × 365 × forever.

All good businesses are personal. The best businesses are very personal.

Sweat equity is the most valuable equity there is.
