We don’t do business with companies. We do business with people.

My challenge is to make sure the things I say and the things I do remain consistent for as often and as long as possible. My why is to inspire people to do the things that inspire them so that together we can change our world. That's why I wake up every single day. I'm agnostic to the form it takes: I teach, I write, I speak, I advise.

Great leaders don't blame the tools they are given. Great leaders work to sharpen them.

Trust is built on telling the truth, not telling people what they want to hear.

Failure is not tied to money; it is a mindset. Failure is when we accept the lot we are given.

Most people think leadership is about being in charge. Most people think leadership is about having all the answers and being the most intelligent person or the most qualified person in the room. The irony is that it is the complete opposite. Leadership is about empowering others to achieve things they did not think possible. Leadership is about pointing in the direction, articulating a vision of the world that does not yet exist. Then asking help from others to insure that vision happens.

Great leaders don't see themselves as great; they see themselves as human.
