It's not in the dreaming, it's in the doing.

What I’ve learned in these 11 years is you just got to stay focused and believe in yourself and trust your own ability and judgment.

Tech stocks were the cubic zirconium of the market. They looked good and were sexy, but they just were a way for the company selling them to make money. That's always going to be transient in terms of the stock market. What's real is that companies have to compete. Technology used well is a great tool to enable that if only because most companies dont use technologies well.

I like being involved in businesses where you are kicking ass.

Open offices keep everyone in tune with what is going on and keep the energy up. If an employee is about privacy, show him or her how to use the lock on the bathroom.

As far as businesses, I was always hustling. I had to pay for my own school. I got 20 bucks every week or 2 from my dad and that was it. So I had a "whatever it took" attitude.

Sports, music, movies - basically, fans of any form of entertainment don't do a resume analysis before picking their favorite.
