Here are some of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten; each told to me personally:
On management, from U.S. Sen. Bill Bradley (D – N.J.):
Never eat before a big game.
On marketing, from Joe Nemec, senior partner at Booz Allen Hamilton:
You put your suits in the window, but underwear is the revenue driver.
On leadership, from John Harris, senior partner at Booz Allen Hamilton:
A leader must not be afraid to repeat himself, until everyone in the organization can channel the leader’s point of view, objectives, and mission.
On patience, told to me by my dad, Marvin J. Rothenberg, when I was 2 years old.:
“Hey, you can only put your pants on one leg at a time.”
On finance, from Manuel Fives, my grandfather, in response to my question, asked at age 8, “Pop Pop, is a penny a lot of money?”
Well, if you got a penny, it’s not a lot of money. But if you don’t got a penny, it’s a hell of a lot of money.
