Mayor Bloomberg's 2007 graduation speech to CUNY

"If you're the first one in in the morning and the last one to leave at night and you take fewer vacation days and never take a sick day, you will do better than the people who don't do that. It is very simple."

Marc Cuban: How to get rich

  1. Resources: Save your money. Save as much money as you possibly can.  If you use a credit card, you dont want to be rich. The first step to getting rich, requires discipline.

  2. Preparation: The 2nd rule for getting rich is getting smart. Become knowledgeable about the business of something you really love to do.  Read everything there is to read about the business. Go to trade shows, read the trade magazines, spend a lot of time talking to people...

  3. Timing:  You will know to strike because you will know your business inside and out. You will be ready because you will have been saving up for this moment in time.
