Be really picky with your hiring, and hire the absolute best people you possibly can. People are the most important component of almost every business, and attracting the best talent possible is going to make a huge difference.

Make your team feel respected, empowered and genuinely excited about the company’s mission.

The significance of a man is not in what he attains but in what he longs to attain.

There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

The successful man is the one who finds out what is the matter with his business before his competitors do.

The secret to successful hiring is this: look for the people who want to change the world.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.

In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.

Do not wait to strike until the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

The biggest failure you can have in life is not trying at all.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Fall seven times and stand up eight.
