Business happens over years and years. Value is measured in the total upside of a business relationship, not by how much you squeezed out in any one deal.

Linking without permission is stealing. Period, end of story.

I love the competitive aspect of it [business]. It's like playing chess. Why do people play chess? Knowing the realm of moves? Even when you get to be a chess master, there are other chess masters you want to beat or outperform. And to me business is just a sport that I love to compete in; a continuous intellectual challenge that really motivates me.

Sales Cure All. Know how your company will make money and how you will actually make sales.

If you think back to the first sporting event you went to, you don't remember the score, you don't remember a home run, you don't remember a dunk. You remember who you were with. Were you with your mom, your dad, your brother, on a date?

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

I'm the type that thinks if you don't learn from history, you're doomed to repeat it.
