“The journey is the reward.”

Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.

Customers don’t measure you on how hard you tried, they measure you on what you deliver.

Focusing is about saying No.

Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.

Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do.

It doesn’t make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.

Your customers don’t care about you. They don’t care about your product or service. They care about themselves, their dreams, their goals. Now, they will care much more if you help them reach their goals, and to do that, you must understand their goals, as well as their needs and deepest desires.

Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

The ability to sell is the number one skill in business. If you cannot sell, don’t bother thinking about becoming a business owner.
