Herb Kelleher
You must be very patient, very persistent. The world
isn’t going to shower gold coins on you just because
you have a good idea. You’re going to have to work
like crazy to bring that idea to the attention of people.
They’re not going to buy it unless they know about it.


                         Herbert “Herb” Dwight Kelleher is the co-
                         founder, Chairman Emeritus, and former CEO
                         of Southwest Airlines. Kelleher and one of his
                         law clients, Texas businessman Rollin King,
                         created the concept that later became
                         Southwest Airlines, on a cocktail napkin in a
                         San Antonio, Texas restaurant.
Michael Dell
Don’t spend so much time trying to choose the perfect
opportunity, that you miss the right opportunity.




                        Michael Saul Dell, American business magnate
                        and author, is best known as the founder and
                        CEO of Dell Inc., one of the world’s leading

                        the world’s 41st richest person on the 2012
                        Forbes Billionaires’ list, with a net worth of
                        US$15.9 billion.
Mark Cuban
It’s called working your ass off. The difference is what
you are willing to sacrifice. For every writer who wants
balance in their life, there is a guy like me who gives up
a lot to make their dreams come true. There is always
going to be someone out there that knows they have
to compensate for maybe having less talent with
harder work and preparation.
                      Mark Cuban is a businessman, investor,
                      philanthropist, and owner of the NBA’s Dallas
                      Mavericks, Landmark Theatres, and Magnolia
                      Pictures, and chairman of the HDTV cable network
                      AXS TV. In 2011, Cuban wrote an e-book, How to Win
                      at the Sport of Business, in which he chronicles his life
                      experiences in business and sports.
Debbi Fields
The greatest failure is not to try. Had I listened to all
the people during the course of my life who said, “You
can’t. You’ll fail. It won’t work. You don’t have…”, I
wouldn’t be here today.


                      Debbi Fields is founder and current spokesperson
                      of Mrs. Fields Bakeries, and the author of several
                      cookbooks. She began her business in 1977 in Palo
                      Alto, California, and it has grown into over 650
                      retail bakeries in the US, and over 80 in 11 other
                      countries. Though she sold the business to an
                      investment group in the 1990s, Fields remains the
                      company’s spokesperson.
Jim Rohn
Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is
the natural consequence of consistently applying the
basic fundamentals.




                       Jim Rohn was an American entrepreneur,
                       author and motivational speaker. His rags to
                       riches story played a large part in his work,
                       which influenced others in the personal
                       development industry, among them authors
                       Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield (Chicken
                       Soup book series), author/lecturer Brian Tracy,
                       and T. Harv Eker.
Sam Walton
Ignore the conventional wisdom. If everybody else is
doing it one way, there’s a good chance you can find
your niche by going in exactly the opposite direction.



                       Samuel Moore ‘Sam’ Walton was a
                       businessman and entrepreneur best known

                       1962 in Arkansas. When Walton died on April
                       5, 1992, his company employed 380,000
                       people. Annual sales of nearly $50 billion
                       flowed from 1,735 Wal-Marts, 212 Sam’s Clubs,
                       and 13 Supercenters.
William Clement Stone
You are a product of your environment. So choose the
environment that will best develop you toward your
objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment.
Are the things around you helping you towards
success? Or are they holding you back?


                          William Clement Stone was a businessman,
                          philanthropist and self-help book author. At
                          the age of 6, Stone was hawking
                          newspapers on Chicago’s South Side. At 13,
                          he had his own newsstand. At 16, he began
                          helping his mother in an insurance agency
                          she had set up. He went from office to
                          office, making cold calls (he called them gold
                          calls), and was soon making $100 a week.
Donald Trump
Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to
your gut, no matter how good something sounds on
paper. The second is that you are generally better off
sticking with what you know and the third is that
sometimes, your best investments are the ones you
don’t make.
                         Donald John Trump, Sr. is an American
                         business magnate, television personality and

                         The Trump Organization and the founder of
                         Trump Entertainment Resorts. In its October
                         7, 2007 Forbes 400 issue, Forbes valued
                         Trump’s wealth at $3.0 billion. Since 2011, his
                         net worth has been estimated from $2.9
                         billion to $7 billion.
Vera Wang
I never thought I’d be successful. It seems in my own
mind that in everything I’ve undertaken I’ve never
quite made the mark. But I’ve always been able to put
disappointments aside. Success isn’t about the end
result; it’s about what you learn along the way.

                            Vera Ellen Wang is an American
                            fashion designer and former figure

                            range of haute couture bridesmaid
                            gowns and wedding gown
                            collections, as well as for her
                            clientele of women figure skaters,
                            designing dresses for competitions
                            and exhibitions.
Richard Branson
Above all, you want to create something you are proud
of. That’s always been my philosophy of business. I can
honestly say that I have never gone into any business
purely to make money. If that is the sole motive, then I
believe you are better off doing nothing.

                         Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson is an
                         English business magnate, best known as the
                         founder and chairman of Virgin Group.
                         Branson’s Virgin brand grew rapidly during the
                         1980s, and he is now the fourth richest citizen
                         of the United Kingdom, according to the

Editor's Notes

  • #3 From its birth in 1971 — after overcoming a year’s worth of legal challenges from competitors who tried to keep it grounded — Southwest Airlinessucceeded by daring to be different: offering low fares to its passengers by eliminating unnecessary services and avoiding the ‘hub-and-spoke’ scheduling system used by other airlines, in favor of building traffic in such secondary airports as Albany, Chicago-Midway (instead of Chicago-O’Hare) and Orange County. During his tenure as CEO of Southwest, Kelleher’s colorful personality created a corporate culture which made Southwest employees well known for taking themselves lightly — often singing in-flight announcements to the tune of popular theme songs — but their jobs seriously. Southwest has never had an in-flight fatality, and is consistently named among the top five Most Admired Corporations in America in Fortune magazine’s annual poll. (Source: Wikipedia)
  • #4 In January 1984, Dell banked on his conviction that the potential cost savings of a manufacturer selling PCs directly had enormous advantages over the conventional indirect retail channel. In January 1984, Dell registered his company as ‘PC’s Limited’. Operating out of a condominium, the business sold between $50,000 and $80,000 in upgraded PCs, kits, and add-on components. In 2011, Dell’s 243.35 million shares of Dell stock were worth $3.5 billion, giving him 12% ownership of the company. His remaining wealth of roughly $10 billion is invested in other companies, and managed by a firm called MSD Capital, named after Dell’s initials. (Source: Wikipedia)
  • #5 On February 9, 2009, Cuban announced his own ‘stimulus plan’, involving what he called “an open source exchange of ideas.” His plan entails individuals posting ideas that fit certain criteria (breaking even within 60 days, profitability within 90 days, no advertising, certain banking controls for Cuban) in the hopes that either Cuban will fund them, or other individuals will take up the ideas, thereby stimulating the economy.

  • #6 In 1969, Oakland Athletics owner Charles O. Finley introduced ‘ball girls’ (young girls who would retrieve baseballs grounded foul by batters). One of the first ones to be hired, Debbi was paid five dollars an hour, and used the money to buy ingredients for what would become her famous cookies.
  • #7 Rohn graduated from high school third in a class of 140. He went to college for a year-and-a-half before dropping out and joining the work force. At 25, he was working as a stock clerk for Sears, for a weekly $57 paycheck, unable to see a way that would lead to his personal ambitions. Around this time, a friend invited him to a lecture given by John Earl Shoaff, an entrepreneur who impressed Rohn with his wealth, business accomplishments, charisma, and life philosophy. At that time, Shoaff was VP of Sales in a company called AbundaVita. In 1955, Rohn joined AbundaVita, became a distributor of the company’s product line, and began a process of personal development that culminated in his becoming a millionaire at 31.

  • #9 Much of what is known about W. Clement Stone comes from his autobiography, The Success System That Never Fails, where he tells of his early business life, selling newspapers in restaurants. At the time, this was a novel thing to do, in contrast to the normal practice of hawking newspapers on street corners only.At first, the restaurants tried to discourage him from this practice, but Stone gradually won them over, due in part to his politeness, charm, persistence, and the fact that the patrons seemed to have no objections to this new way of selling his newspapers. From there, he graduated to selling insurance policies to downtown businesses. His mother was the initiator of his new career, and together they did quite well, she as the manager of the business, and he as the salesperson.
  • #10 In 2010, Trump expressed an interest in becoming a candidate for President of the United States in the 2012 election, though in May 2011, he announced he would not be a candidate. In December 2011, Trump was suggested as a possible Vice Presidential selection by Michele Bachmann, if she were to win the Republican nomination. (Source: Wikipedia)
  • #11 Vera Wang was born in New York and has an estimated net worth of $115 million. As a fashion designer, Wang is most widely recognized for her wedding gowns, which have been worn by a number of celebrities, including Chelsea Clinton, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Garner, Holly Hunter, and Alicia Keys. She has also designed home ware, footwear, fragrance, eyewear, and jewelry collections.
  • #12 The Virgin Group comprises more than 400 companies. Branson’s first business venture was a magazine called Student at the age of 16. In 1970, he set up an audio-record mail-order business. In 1972, he opened a chain of record stores, Virgin Records, later known as Virgin Megastores. Branson’s Virgin brand grew rapidly during the 1980s, as he set up Virgin Atlantic Airways and expanded the Virgin Records music label.
