Felix Dennis Quotes - How to get RICH

“Having a great idea is simply not enough. The eventual goal is vastly more important than any idea. It is how ideas are implemented that counts in the long run” ― Felix Dennis, How to Get Rich “Talent is indispensable, although it is 'always' replaceable. Just remember the simple rules concerning talent: Identify It, Hire It, Nurture It, Reward It, Protect It. And when the time comes, Fire It.” ― Felix Dennis, How to Get Rich “What worries me are people who mistake their desire to get rich with their absolute compulsion. You can’t mistake those two things. When people have the wish to be rich but know in their heart of hearts that they do not have what it takes to get there — the long hours, the hard work, the ability to face up to fear of failure — they are going to cause themselves and those around them endless problems.” – Felix Dennis “Learning to evolve or die is a cardinal virtue” – Felix Dennis “If you haven’t got the balls to ask people for money because you’re going to lose it, then you’re certainly never going to get rich.” – Felix Dennis “The purpose of being an entrepreneur is to make a lot of money and have a lot of fun.” – Felix Dennis “People will surprise themselves at how much money they can raise. There are a lot of vendors who are willing to take a risk on you, if you are totally up front with them and as long as they don’t risk too much. That’s the way I did it. “- Felix Dennis “When you come across real talent, it is sometimes worth allowing them to create the structure in which they choose to labor. In nine cases out of ten, by inviting them to take responsibility and control for a new venture, you will motivate them to do great things.” ― Felix Dennis, How to Get Rich “Once you believe that you are infallible, that success will automatically lead to more success, and that you have "got it made," reality will be sure to give you a rude wake-up call. Believing your own bullshit is always a perilous activity, but never more fatal than for the owner of a start-up venture.” ― Felix Dennis, How to Get Rich “Most of the worst errors I made in my life came from forgetting to act small.” ― Felix Dennis, How to Get Rich “Sometimes, to ensure that a talented individual will work for you, or will stay working with you, you need to be flexible. Money is not always the great motivator here. Talented people want a good salary, of course, but surprisingly often they are more attracted to new opportunities and challenges.” ― Felix Dennis, How to Get Rich
