If you deprive yourself of outsourcing and your competitors do not you're putting yourself out of business.

The hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there's this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think 'Well you say I'm a pop star so maybe that's not true.'

There are pros and cons of experience. A con is that you can't look at the business with a fresh pair of eyes and as objectively as if you were a new CEO. Fire yourself on a Friday night and come in on Monday morning as if a search firm put you there as a turn-around leader. Can you be objective and make the bold change?

There is no substitute for accurate knowledge. Know yourself know your business know your men.

To me business isn't about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It's about being true to yourself your ideas and focusing on the essentials.

The golden rule for every business man is this: 'Put yourself in your customer's place.'

In business for yourself not by yourself.

The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.

In this business by the time you realize you're in trouble it's too late to save yourself. Unless you're running scared all the time you're gone.

If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority it is time to pause and reflect.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.

It's easy to get wrapped up in sharing everyday life with a partner. It's fun to get lost in love and romance. It's the best. But holding on to yourself while doing that is the most important thing.

You owe it to yourself to be the best person possible. Because if you are others will want to be with you want to provide you with the things you want in exchange for what you're giving to them.

A lot of the fun lies in trying to penetrate the mystery and this is best done by saying over the lines to yourself again and again till they pass through the stage of sounding like nonsense and finally return to a full sense that had at first escaped notice.

The best plan now is to have as many bosses as possible. I call it boss diversity. If you work for a company and you have one boss and that boss doesn't like you or wants to get rid of you you're in trouble. But if you work for yourself you have lots of bosses who are your customers and if a few of them decide they don't like you that's okay.

You have to surround yourself with people who love you and want the best for you.

Comfort in expressing your emotions will allow you to share the best of yourself with others but not being able to control your emotions will reveal your worst.

Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother. There is no transition into being a woman you literally become a mum and being a mum means you always love someone else more than yourself and it is an unexplainable situation.

The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself.

The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.

After all the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself as to see all the other fellows busy working.

Everyone is your best friend when you are successful. Make sure that the people that you surround yourself with are also the people that you are not afraid of failing with.

As long as you as an individual... can convince yourself that in order to move forward as best you can you have to be optimistic you can be described as 'one of the faithful ' one of those people who can say 'Well look something's going to happen! Let's just keep trying. Let's not give up.
