The majority of people are not willing to risk what they have built for the opportunity to have something better.

Disruption causes vast sums of money to flow from existing businesses and business models to new entrants.

Self-disruption is akin to undergoing major surgery, but you are the one holding the scalpel.

Your energy is a valuable resource, distribute it wisely.

The business world is littered with the fossils of companies that failed to evolve. Disrupt or be disrupted. There is no middle ground.

Building a career or a company is about living a few years of your life like most people won't so that you can spend the rest of your life living at a level most people can't.

Insight and drive are all the skills you need. Everything else can be hired.

Those that recognize the inevitability of change stand to benefit the most from it.

A negative mind will never find success. I have never heard a positive idea come from a person in a negative state.

The customer is always right...even when they're wrong.

Speed to fail should be every entrepreneur's motto. When you finally find the one idea that can't be killed, go with it.

The best big idea is only going to be as good as its implementation.

The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is that successful ones know that the most unprofitable thing ever manufactured is an excuse.

There is a difference between failing and failure. Failing is trying something that you learn doesn't work. Failure is throwing in the towel and giving up.

If you can imagine a solution, you can make it happen.

If life, you get what you believe you deserve.

You have a choice: pursue your dreams, or be hired by someone else to help them fulfill their dreams.

Billions of dollars worth of research knowledge lie dormant at American universities waiting for the right disruptor to come along and create a business.
