life met says slept wish
I just don't sleep enough. But I have never met someone very successful who, at the end of their life, says 'I wish I slept more.'
anyone life wakes
I don't think anyone wakes up and says, 'I want my life to suck today.'
bunch business dad felt happy money nice parents sold
When I sold my first business, I wanted to do something nice for my dad. I wanted to give my parents a bunch of money, but they wouldn't take anything from me. They were so happy for me; they felt they didn't need money.
anybody business great life
I don't think anybody ever started a great business because they wanted to make a little more cash. They had a dream. They wanted to better their life.
became happened million
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.
scary
The idea of getting a lifetime job, and making $100,000 a year, with benefits, is dead and gone. It's over. And it may never come again. That's a very scary thought for a lot of people.

When I was a waiter, I wanted to be the best waiter I could be and worked to be better at it every day.
team america race
I own a Ferrari race team, and we race all over North America.
dollars inspired building
I'm really inspired to build a billion-dollar company. The hardest part is building the vehicle to get you there.
entrepreneur tangible entrepreneurship
What is great about entrepreneurship is that entrepreneurs create the tangible from the intangible.
guy leader saws
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.
class trying spinning
I try to get in one, one-hour spinning class per week.
wall thinking creating-value
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.
passion car long
Long before I had money, my passion for cars was there.
