Don't hesitate to seek external help or advice where need be. Sometimes, it takes an external, emotionally unattached individual to detect your business flaws and render unbiased advice.

I never really felt secure until I was well into my 30s, because anytime I had success, I would invest in new projects.

My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself. I see life almost like one long University education that I never had - everyday I'm learning something new.

I'm a lad of the '60s. I started a magazine to try and end the Vietnam war, but it was a number of years before I had the profile, the financial resources and the time to do more.

I think because I have great difficulty saying the word, 'no,' almost every day's a different adventure.

If you are seizing on a new business opportunity, deliberately move your customers' expectations up a few notches and consistently over-deliver on your promises - you will leave your competitors struggling to catch up.

A company is people … employees want to know… am I being listened to or am I a cog in the wheel? People really need to feel wanted.
