Zitat des Tages von Kevin O'Leary:
Money equals freedom.
I have met many entrepreneurs who have the passion and even the work ethic to succeed - but who are so obsessed with an idea that they don't see its obvious flaws. Think about that. If you can't even acknowledge your failures, how can you cut the rope and move on?
You may lose your wife, you may lose your dog, your mother may hate you. None of those things matter. What matters is that you achieve success and become free. Then you can do whatever you like.
If a man could give birth it would be to a book - it's an 18-month gestation period.
When you come to 'Shark Tank,' the only person you should listen to is me, because you know you're getting the truth. I'll decide if it's worth it, and after I'm finished, the rest of the people can look into it.
All we do is bring the debate from both sides, and let you as a viewer decide where you want to end up on the issue. That's very important. That's exactly what happens in 'Redemption Inc.'
I could have easily gone down the wrong path and dropped out of school, but I was given a second chance.
I'm proud to be on the CBC and to see the management here represents both sides of every story. This is what's unique about the new CBC: you get a Kevin O'Leary on it when five years ago you wouldn't.
I think a book is your calling card, your business card.
Unions are about the collective leverage, the power of numbers versus the power of capital.
Don't call me, I'll call you... I'm out.
There's only one side with me. You get the right side. You get the correct version of the facts.
If a manager can't control his costs, fire them.
In his first term, President Barack Obama played a cautious manager navigating the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression and cleaning up the messes left by President George W. Bush in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If you put a woman in prison for four years when she's young and make her pay her time in a horrible place and she wants to come out and work, and become a mother and be a contributor to society and pay taxes and you never give her that chance. There is something un-Canadian about that.
The practical reality of managing cars in the family - I do 36-month leases. I think they're horrible investments. And you want to give them back after their warranty is over.
You can't regulate a soul into a business.
People are aware of what I stand for through television. Nobody gets rich on TV but you build brand. That's what I'm attempting to do.
I'm not trying to make friends, I'm trying to make money.
My problem with unions is they breed mediocrity.
There are a lot of idiot fund managers out there who add no value to the process at all.
Don't cry about money, it never cries for you.
I'd rather invest in an entrepreneur who has failed before than one who assumes success from day one.
Protecting Americans from harm goes beyond police and national defense. It's imperative that we not destroy the commons, the physical environment on which we rely.
There are a lot of impractical things about owning a Porsche. But they're all offset by the driving experience. It really is unique. Lamborghinis and Ferraris come close. And they are more powerful, but they don't handle like a Porsche.
Money is my military, each dollar a soldier. I never send my money into battle unprepared and undefended. I send it to conquer and take currency prisoner and bring it back to me.
Being an employee is a bad outcome. You want to avoid that. Being an employee is never a good outcome. That's just an opinion.
All businesses require capital, management and labor, and business executives, wanting to grow and maintain profitable enterprises, have a strong incentive to keep costs, including labor, as low as possible.
When you bring an idea that has no merit to me, and you ask me to comment on it, I'm going to tell you it has no merit.
I'm starting to think about things that I want to do, things that are fun. One of them is driving a car like a Porsche. I've driven a lot of cars - sedans, trucks and big family vehicles all year long. But there's nothing like a four-wheel-drive Porsche.
Here's how I think of my money - as soldiers - I send them out to war everyday. I want them to take prisoners and come home, so there's more of them.
If I were the president of the United States, I would make unions illegal. They no longer serve a functional purpose in democracy, in my view.
I want to go to bed richer than when I woke up. The pursuit of wealth is a wonderful thing, but the thing is you have to be honest about it, you have to tell the truth.
If you want a friend, buy a dog.
I remember failing reading in school at a young age, and you just kinda get left behind and I felt helpless.
I'm not a tough guy. I'm just delivering the truth and only the truth and if you can't deal with it, too bad.
