Don't go into business with the sole objective of making lot of money. If you put service, quality, and customer satisfaction first-the money will follow.

A successful business is a good way to create significant wealth, but not every business will grow into a News Corporation or a McDonalds.

Success on any level begins when you accept responsibility for creating life what you want. You are the only person who can truly make it happen. Not your boss, your business partner, your financial planner, your spouse of life-partner. Just you.

Learn as much as you can about your proposed business. Ask questions. Join industry associations. Study successful competitors carefully.

When investing, I'm not against risk. If you take no risk you must expect a low return. Just don't let anyone fool you into thinking you can get a high return with low risk.

For many people a job is more than an income - it's an important part of who we are.

I don't think investment is that hard. It's doing the simple things on a regular basis.
