there’s no recipe for motivating teams when your business has turned to crap.

there is no blueprint when it comes to being an entrepreneur.

Hard things are hard because there are no easy answers or recipes.

I don’t believe it can be taught as if it were a recipe. There aren’t ingredients and techniques that will guarantee success. Parameters exist that, if followed, will ensure a business can continue, but you cannot clearly define our business success and then bottle it as you would a perfume. It’s not that simple: to be successful, you have to be out there, you have to hit the ground running; and, if you have a good team round you and more than your fair share of luck, you might make something happen. But you certainly can’t guarantee it just by following someone else’s formula. Business is a fluid, changing substance.

Unfortunately, personalities, good feelings, goodwill, and luck aren’t the only ingredients of a successful organization; alone, they are the recipe for chaos and disaster.

Whether it be a matter of personal relations within a marriage or political initiatives within a peace process, there is no sure-fire do-it-yourself kit.

There are many recipes for success. There is no single way to win. But nearly all recipes include two ingredients: curiosity and drive.

You don’t need more recipes. You need to learn to cook without them.

There is no shortcut to success.

There is no formula to relationships.

There's nobody to guide through the process of becoming a man... to explain to them the meaning of manhood. And that's a recipe for disaster.

It is not possible to produce a set of rules purporting to describe what a man should do in every conceivable set of circumstances.

Recipe for success: underpromise and overdeliver.

There are no secrets to success. It's the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure.
