Key Quotes

“Your urgency is not my emergency. Proper preparation prevents poor performance, because your lack of preparation today becomes your pressure for the month.”

“Real friendship, we ain’t got to talk to her today. We ain’t got to be on the phone two, three, four hours a day. It could be weeks past months, whatever the case may be, if my boy called me and he need me, I’m on it.”

“Socialism doesn’t promote growth, it doesn’t promote you to grow, it doesn’t promote success, it promotes complacency.”

“I have a six-step process: what do I want, what are my options, what are the consequences, evaluate the probability, mitigate the downsides, and resolve. I’ve made personally $400 million from decisions made using this process.”
