My experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren't so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more.

No one becomes an expert in a new career overnight, even if you are coming from another career where you were established and experienced.

Very narrow areas of expertise can be very productive. Develop your own profile. Develop your own niche.

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

Experience is making mistakes and learning from them.

Experience is easy to provide and quickly put to good use by people with all the other qualities.

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

As entrepreneurs, we often get pressured into hiring an industry executive. While it's good to hire people with experience, it can also be a stumbling block because they think about the business the same way everyone else does.

Experience alone can give a final answer. The knowledge gained in a few years by a commission of the kind suggested would be worth more than volumes of mere assertions and contradictions.

In business, experience is the big teacher.
