It doesn’t matter how many times you have failed, you only have to be right once.

“There is no sport as competitive as business.”

“Treat your customers like they own you. Because they do.”

“It doesn’t matter how many times you fail. You only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you that you are an overnight success.”

“I look at my annual budgets for everything and anything, and I look to see where I can save the most money on those items. Saving 30% to 50% buying in bulk – replenishable items from toothpaste to soup, or whatever I use a lot of – is the best guaranteed return on investment you can get anywhere.”

“Don’t start a company unless it’s an obsession and something you love. If you have an exit strategy, it’s not an obsession.”

“I’m a believer that you accomplish much, much more with direct relationships than by using an intermediary. And that cash you keep in the bank can be the difference between staying alive as a small business, or not.”

“If you’ve got $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, you’re better off paying off any debt you have because that’s a guaranteed return.”

“Work like there is someone working twenty-four hours a day to take it all away from you.”
