I'm a writer. I could not or would not ever run a business. I don't even have a secretary. And contrary to some of the stereotypes, entrepreneurs are not loners. I am.

It is better to pick the wrong priority than none at all.

We can't make people better by trying to eliminate their weaknesses, but we can help then perform better by building on their strengths.

There is the risk you cannot afford to take, and there is the risk you cannot afford not to take.

Results is all that separates one company from another.

A person can perform only from strength. One cannot build performance on weakness, let alone on something one cannot do at all.

Profitability is the sovereign criterion of the enterprise.
