Lessons in Leadership #2

• Love your competitors. They are the only ones who make you as good as you can be.
• In business, you should walk your talk...and know when to talk before you walk.
• If you want to be remembered for all the wrong reasons, say something stupid.
• Getting an idea should be like sitting down on a pin; it should make you jump up and do something.
• The hotter things get, the more important it is to keep your cool.
• Entrepreneurs are people who take the cold water thrown on their idea, heat it with enthusiasm, make steam, and push ahead.
• The difference between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and doing it exactly right.
• Control yourself: Remember, anger is just one letter short of danger.
• Keep an open mind. Your first job may not be your dream job, but it doesn't have to be a nightmare.
• If you want a place in the sun, you've got to expect a few blisters.
