Whatever the career, sales ability distinguishes superstars from also-rans.

If you focus on near-term growth above all else, you miss the most important question you should be asking: will this business still be around a decade from now?

The value of failure is greatly over-rated. It's a preposterous myth.

Whatever the career, sales ability distinguishes superstars from also-rans.

There's a wide range of sales ability: there are many gradations between novices, experts, and masters. There are even sales grandmasters. If you don't know any grandmasters, it's not because you haven't encountered them, but rather because their art is hidden in plain sight.

There are quite a lot of people who think my aspirations are not possible. That's a good thing. We don't need to really worry about these people very much, because since they don't think it's possible they won't take us very seriously- and they will not actually try to stop us until it's too late.

The road doesn’t have to be infinite after all. Take the hidden paths.
