You read a book from beginning to end. You run a business the opposite way. You start with the end, and then you do everything you must to reach it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have a career, and you start as a business person. And you work your way, you reach this peak, and you know the time's going to come when you go back down.
I know I'm not going to book everything I go in on, and that's just the nature of the business. You have to keep hustling and not get down on it. You have to keep at it and find your way in. Everybody's story is different.
Doing it your own way, not having to go exactly by the book to be successful.
I think a good business book has one coherent idea that is richly played out.
The business of writing a novel is a long, meandering road into the self, into the imagination. And it's a road the writer travels alone.
Everyone does a style book, and I wanted to write a business book for people that didn't think they would like a business book.
I find it fascinating that a lot of business books that do well are from people who've never made any money in business.
Business is where you practice your human skills. It's where you grow.
I did not want to write just another business book.
I don't read many business books. I read good fiction. Business is about people, so my favorite business books are anything by Dickens.
