To me, money is a means to do good. I reached
a point in my life where I had enjoyed tremendous
business success that afforded my family
everything we could possibly want. My wife
and I then decided that we could use our
wealth to make a difference. So we created
the Broad Foundations to do four things:
to improve urban public education, to support
innovative scientific and medical research,
to foster art appreciation for audiences
worldwide and to support civic initiatives
in Los Angeles.

I think the most important CEO task is defining
the course that the business will take over
the next five or so years. You have to have
the ability to see what the business environment
might be like a long way out, not just over
the coming months. You need to be able to
both set a broad direction, and also to
take particular decisions along the way
that make that broad direction unfold correctly.

I'm a firm believer that to really understand a business takes years, not

I was always acting primarily with shareholder interests in mind. It's also
true I've always had a fairly moralistic attitude to business, and would not do

On one level, going bust didn't bother me.
It was the 80s, and there wasn't the stigma
about bankruptcy that you might think. My
mates weren't bothered. My dad was in business..
he knew that it happened, too. He loaned
me the money to bail me out, and I got a

It doesnt matter how many times you fail. It doesnt matter how
many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your

The entrepreneur is not really interested in doing the work; he is interested

Elections are a kind of business. I have to present myself: 'I can do this
and that for this area so please give me your vote'. People vote for the politicians
who can best understand and contribute to their region or country. In a business
you can choose your clients, and the message is targeted to them only. But politics
is universal; no matter what age the audience, you have to send the same message
to everyone. Takafumi

Remarks such as great Australian, larger than life

I think one of the most misunderstood things about business in America is

Today the strategies of many companies in the real estate industry are premised
on low interest rates, an assumption that has resulted in the rapid expansion
of the real estate securitization business. This trend could be regarded as a
risk factor, as it exposes the real estate sector to at least three potential
problems: first, interest rate hikes; second, revisions to securitization business
accounting standards; and third, overheating in the real estate market. Akira

The
pace at eBay was frantic and urgent. We knew that if we didn't move fast, somebody
would come into the market and quash us. Participant doesn't make a lot of sense

Every day, you'll have opportunities to take chances and to work outside
your safety net. Sure, it's a lot easier to stay in your comfort zone.. in my
case, business suits and real estate.. but sometimes you have to take risks. When
the risks pay off, that's when you reap the biggest rewards. Donald

Leaders are people who can discern the inevitable and act accordingly. When
people talk about business acumen, discernment is a big part of it. Its
a bit like gut instinct, but a little more developed. Donald

We are perfectionists. We are hungry to
work all the time. We are entertained by
every aspect of business and we never want
to stop working.

Perhaps the best place to begin with an
integral approach to business is with..
oneself. In the Big Three of self, culture,
and world, integral mastery starts with
self. How do body and mind and spirit operate
in me? How does that necessarily impact
my role in the world of business? And how
can I become more conscious of these already
operating realities in myself and in others?

Conscious business.. business that is conscious of inner and outer worlds..
would therefore be business that takes into account body, mind, and spirit in
self, culture, and nature. Put differently, conscious business would be mindful
of the way that the spectrum of consciousness operates in the Big Three worlds
of self and culture and nature.

This is a business that thrives on competition
(Casino Resorts). For 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, the strip hosts the most violent

When all is said and done, what must be
remembered is a newspaper is a business.
It used to be a fabulous business that made
extraordinary margins. It's now a very good
business with appropriate margins.

I believe that being successful means having
a balance of success stories across the
many areas of your life. You can't truly
be considered successful in your business
life if your home life is in shambles.

Statistics suggest that when customers complain,
business owners and managers ought to get
excited about it. The complaining customer
represents a huge opportunity for more business.
