Success is built through strategic thinking, relentless self-improvement, and understanding your next five moves before making the first one. Entrepreneurs must study history, competition, and human nature to outmaneuver their rivals.

"The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are large."

"Your next five moves determine your future. The best chess players think many moves ahead — so should entrepreneurs."
