Anyone who has been in business can tell war stories about the bumps in the road. But if they've outlasted the competition, ask for their stories about survival. They've figured out how to turn disappointments into opportunities.
There will always be someone with a cuter girl, a bigger car, a bigger home, but that does not matter. You measure your own performance by your own potential. That's what makes a successful person.
You can't hurry creativity, so take time to ponder your ideas. Sit back and take time to think things over. That's usually how the best ideas bloom.
You can beat 80% of the competition just by showing up.
A dream is always a bargain no matter what you pay for it
The longer they keep you waiting, the more they want to deal.
You'll never please everyone, but you only have to please a few people to get an offer.
Make your decisions with your heart, and you'll end up with heart disease.
Unless you work in demolition, don't burn bridges.
Once you attach your personality to a proposition, people start reacting to the personality and stop reacting to the proposition.
Decide what your priorities are and how much time you'll spend on them. If you don't, someone else will.
Failure is no more fatal than success is permanent.
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it.
There is a time to provide advice and offer an opinion, and there is a time not to. Don't be too quick to offer unsolicited advice. It certainly will not endear you to people.
