An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes.

Never be associated with someone you can't be proud of, whether you work for him or he works for you

Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of an idea or enterprise. They willingly assume responsibility for the success or failure of a venture and are answerable for all its facets.

Though negotiations are a rough game, you should never allow them to become a dirty game. Once you've agreed to a deal, don't back out of it unless the other party fails to deliver as promised. Your handshake is your bond. As far as I'm concerned, a handshake is worth more than a signed contract. As an entrepreneur, a reputation for integrity is your most valuable commodity. If you try to put something over on someone, it will come back to haunt you.

In business, the competition will bite you if you keep running; if you stand still, they will swallow you.

I liked the shaver so much, I bought the company.

You can only govern men by serving them. The rule is without exception.
