You've got to keep pushing, keep driving, because in this business, you're going to hear 'no' a lot more than you hear 'yes.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you don't drive your business, you will be driven out of business.
The way you continue to be a successful business is you don't wait for the car to go off the cliff. You have to manage yourself. And make sure you do it in the right way so you are not making decisions in crisis.
My agent once said, 'You're not very driven.' And it's true. I'm not the type to ring up and go, 'Get me this part!'
My drive is other people's success.
You definitely get the answer 'no' more times in this business than you do 'yes.' It's what you do with those 'nos' that makes your success either great or not.
The most important lesson I've learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.
When you're in the car, how well you do is down to you and you alone-no band, no management, no marketing.
I am a very hands-on person, and I like to be involved in driving my business.
I have a hard time doing anything someone else tells me to do! I've always been driven to follow my own path and not be pushed down another lane because some executive thought I could be more commercially successful or whatever.
If you've been driving for a little while and nothing's happened to you yet - and you've been texting and driving - you think, 'Oh nothing's going to happen.' But all it takes is an accident happening with one of your friends or God forbid, something happening to you, to really give you a wake-up call.
