  - Michael Gerber
  

• ‟ Your success starts with how you are able to get clients in the door, get their business, and leave them satisfied. If you, personally, have to spend too much time doing that, you have simply bought yourself a job, not an enterprise. Take hints from success stories all around you!

  - Michael Gerber
  

• ‟ No matter what, the entrepreneur must strive to be above average and, at the same time, understand what is driving those averages they are seeking to beat. Take the time to understand and test the metrics you are using, and then you can not only set the average, you can exceed it.

  - Michael Gerber
  

• ‟ Understand this - as a new company, if you don't know how to get interested prospects into your company, then you don't have a company. At the same time, if you, as a owner, have to drive every lead into your business, then you need a real lead generation strategy.

  - Michael Gerber
  

• ‟ More than a few studies have shown that the five people you spend the most time with represent you - so you need to decide - who do you want to be?
