If you get into business solely to make money, you won’t. If you try to make a real difference, you’ll find success.

LEARN FROM FAILURE. If you are an entrepreneur and your first venture wasn't a success, welcome to the club.

No failure means no risk, which means nothing new

I think sometimes when you come from a conservative background, you want to rebel a little bit. I dropped out of school at 15 and learned early in life that saying yes was a lot more fun than saying no. If you have the opportunity to explore the skies and attempt something people haven't done before - well, I was damned if I was going to sit around watching television while someone else was doing it.

If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.

I believe that drudgery and clock-watching are a terrible betrayal of that universal, inborn entrepreneurial spirit.

Focus on your business strengths and keep its weaknesses away from the competition or public.
