Pearls from The LITTLE BOOK OF BUSINESS WISDOM "The man who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won't succeed; you must have a larger ambition."-JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER "Think about the customer, not the competition: Competitors represent your industry's past, as, over the years, collective habits become ingrained. Customers are your future, representing new opportunities, ideas, and avenues for growth."-MICHAEL S.

There never was a great character who did not sometimes smash the routine regulations and make new ones for himself." -ANDREW CARNEGIE "Don't speak up at a meeting until you have something meaningful to contribute.
