The only thing any entrepreneur, salesperson or anyone in any position can control is their effort.

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.

Everyone has ideas. The first step is to learn more about your industry than anyone in the world. Otherwise there is a good chance that the lady that knows it better than you is going to kick your ass. Then you just have to go for it. No excuses. Just work your ass off.

There is no sport as competitive as business. It's 24 by 7 by 365 by forever.

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.

You could be beaten down by anybody and by everybody and it doesn't matter what everybody else thinks it's how you see yourself and what your own dreams are. And, you know, anybody who started a business and build a business knows there's going to be lots of times when you feel beaten down and you need some motivation and that's when I turn to that book among others.

Business is a sport and I want to win. I want to kick your ass. I may not win every game. But I certainly am going to try.
