With the greatest of respect, I have watched Apple from the day it started. I was publishing magazines about the Apple II before most people had ever heard what a personal computer was.
Felix Dennis
Overhead will eat you alive if not constantly viewed as a parasite to be exterminated. Never mind the bleating of those you employ. Hold out until mutiny is imminent before employing even a single additional member of staff. More start-ups are wrecked by overstaffing than by any other cause, bar failure to monitor cash flow.

I am absolutely convinced that my life was redeemed by poetry.

Felix Dennis
For me, temptation is life and I have a gargantuan appetite for everything.
Felix Dennis

Felix Dennis
I have one talent, and that's figuring out what people want about two minutes before they know it themselves.
Felix Dennis
I cannot abide being bored.
Felix Dennis
You have to persuade yourself that you absolutely don't care what happens. If you don't care, you've won. I absolutely promise you, in every serious negotiation, the man or woman who doesn't care is going to win.
Felix Dennis
People really do not have time to read all the newspapers in the world and all the sites that we now commonly use on the web. There is no possibility of keeping up.
Felix Dennis
The key to successful business is self belief and application.
Felix Dennis
The belief that you have a great idea is not worth cuckoo spit. Ideas are ten a penny while the ability to execute counts for a great deal more.
Felix Dennis
The age of celebrity editors and monstrous staffing are over.
Felix Dennis
'The Week' is my favourite magazine. Everyone from presidents to CEOs of companies love it, politicians, people in the massive charity business in America, in the arts and even more especially in the media.
