Bill Walsh
Act like a VIP and become a VIP
Bill Walsh
Calculated risks are part of what you do, but the idea that something completely crazy will work just because it's completely crazy is completely crazy.
Bill Walsh
Your path and purpose will become crystal clear when you begin to trust your vision.
Bill Walsh
Many people erroneously think they have only one chance to succeed, and if they miss that chance, they are doomed to failure. In fact, most people have several opportunities to succeed.
Bill Walsh
