The greatest business people I've met are determined to get it right no matter what the cost.

I see an entrepreneur as the chief designer of a business that works better than any other.

If you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work.

Michael Gerber (1986)

Jurnal ekonomi (1999)

Great people have a vision of their lives that they practice emulating each and every day. They go to work on their lives, not just in their lives.

Tom Butler-Bowdon (2010)
