Business is a sprint until you find an opportunity, then it's the patience of a marathon runner.

I never dreamed I could build a $100 million company. I just happened to build a $1 million company that became a $5 million company, and so on.

I was one of those guys who never wanted to start their own business. I never saw myself as a leader. I saw myself as a great No. 2.

Oh, I'm all about small business. I think what we've learned from big business and big Wall Street is that unchecked greed and the creation of false value gets us all in trouble. If we look at the American economy, who's really creating value? It's the small businesses.

It is human nature, especially as we get older, to look for stability in our lives. But if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to fight against that somewhat, as starting a business requires movement. You cannot stay still.

I balance my meals. I have never been a big dessert guy.
