Don’t Skimp, You Should Always Over-Deliver
If you always over-deliver, it is going to draw attention and you will likely be successful.
Attitude Trumps Skill
The word we like to use is ‘attitude.’ We say this almost in an exaggerated fashion, but just to make the point, we almost want to take attitude before skill — the right attitude, the right desire to get it done and never give in.

Who Cares If You’re Smarter Or Wealthier Than Everyone Else? All That Matters Is Outlearning Them
You don’t have to be brighter than everybody else, and you don’t have to have more money than everybody else… You just have to outlearn everybody.
