Most “necessary evils” are far more evil than necessary.
Smoking marijuana, as long as you leave the nicotine out of it, is certainly no more damaging than having a drink, and I suspect better for you than having a drink.
I personally don’t believe anything is impossible. With enough determination and effort, almost everything is possible.
If people aren’t calling you crazy, you aren’t thinking big enough.
Consider getting smaller in order to get bigger.
To get the respect of people, I think you’ve got to roll up your sleeves and lead with your people. The absolute key is treating your people well. Looking for the best in your people. Lots and lots of praise, no criticism.
If you don’t enjoy it, don’t do it. You must love what you do.
If you look for the best in your employees, they’ll flourish. If you criticize or look for the worst, they’ll shrivel up. We all need lots of watering.
Successful entrepreneurs don’t wait for the perfect moment – they create it.
If something can’t be explained on the back of an envelope, it’s rubbish.
Success cannot be measured in wealth, fame or power, but by whether you have made a positive difference for others.
The best way of learning about anything is by doing.
I have no secret. There are no rules to follow in business. I just work hard and, as I always have done, believe I can do it. Most of all, though, I try to have fun.
Don’t think what’s the cheapest way to do it or what’s the fastest way to do it. Think what’s the most amazing way to do it.
Have fun, do good, and the money will come.
No matter how big you are, details count!
I think business leaders all over the world should not just think of how we can make lots of money, which is fine, but to take some of the problems in the world and get out there and tackle them using business. I think that if businesses do that we can get on top of these problems.
You shouldn’t blindly accept a leader’s advice. You’ve got to question leaders on occasion.
Give your employees a mission that matches their ambitions. When you challenge people, they surprise you.
I would not be able to change a sparking plug and I would not be able to fly a spaceship or build a rocket or whatever. But what I am good at doing is finding brilliant people and surrounding myself with brilliant people.
