- Find your perfect pitch. (Know your strengths and weaknesses.)
- Be your own boss.
- Get addicted to ambition.
- Wake up early. Be early.
- Don’t set goals — execute or get executed.
- Fail so you can succeed.
- Location doesn’t matter. Success can take place anywhere.
- Moor yourself to morals.
- Say yes to sales.
- Borrow from the best — and the worst.
- Never retire.
I like it, glad you um – borrowed it!
