As I would learn later in life, money makes you extremely handsome.

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

If it had anything to do with the PC or networking industry I was on top of it. I bought manuals. I read every book and magazine. Then I would get involved with industry conferences and put myself out there.

If you really want to know where your destiny lies, look at where you apply your time.

The reason I do Shark Tank isn't to try take make more money of the deals, even though every deal I want to make money off of and even more so I want the entrepreneurs to be very successful and make money, but Shark Tank sends a message to everybody that the American Dream is alive and well.

I'd rather be tired than broke!

I love to compete. I want to get out there and kick your ass in the business world. That is what inspires me.
