All the time and effort put into networking can be all for naught if there is no follow-through. The same goes for sales. And leadership. And … well, everything.

FAIL UP. If something doesn’t go how you planned it, learn from it, do something differently next time. And, by the way, effort deserves credit. Pat yourself on the back!

Great leaders build trust from their team because the leader is willing to put his/her people “first.” Once the team believes that, they will put their leader, and the company, first as well.

If you can look yourself in the mirror at the end of each day, knowing that you did your best, or helped someone out, or took the high road and acted with integrity, then that is an awesome day!

Great leaders are the first to say, “I was wrong. Let’s make a change.

Every town has the same two malls: the one white people go to and the one white people used to go to.

Believe with all your heart that how you live your life makes a difference

I had a good upbringing, we didn't have any money, but there was a lot of love in my family.

I think we should all be more concerned about the environment and the effects of global warming. It will be pointless to talk about all the issues that divide us when it's 300 degrees outside.

Country has to stop giving electricity for free. It is like giving people cocaine.

Being dead is the most airtight defense of one's own aesthetic.
