Successful businesspeople retain a quality most others not only lack but often fail to comprehend, and that's the unrelenting drive to convert a vision into reality. They are driven to realize this goal in a manner that appears to defy logic among others who lack this drive.

I was one of those guys who never wanted to start their own business. I never saw myself as a leader. I saw myself as a great No. 2.

I came from a communist country where there are no luxury cars.

I have my mother's hips. The minute I eat it, it ends up on my hips.

You can never be satisfied as an entrepreneur, and the basis of any successful, growing business is new clients.

I try to get in one, one-hour spinning class per week.

You can't rush the miles. No matter how fast I run, the five miles isn't going to be done in the first five minutes.
