You know, there's no room for excuses.

There's always an excuse, but there's no room for it.

You have to deliver.

You have to figure a way around the obstacle and you got to go get it done.

And, you know, it's sometimes they don't,

it gets prickly, but you're not trying to win friends in business.

You're trying to have people respect you.

And the way they respect you is you deliver results.

I do business with a lot of assholes that are not nice people, but boy, are they productive.

And that's why I'm doing business with them.

Yeah, it's not.

It can't make everybody happy.

That's not what the game is about.

The game is setting a goal and achieving it.

And along the way, there's going to be some people you offend.

Well, that's too bad.

Well, there's something I've learned about in teaching cohorts of young.

I'm an executive fellow at Harvard, so I teach the HBA, the MBA, and the executive program, and I'm honored to do that.
