I believe in labeling things.
Lewis Schiff
Apple made tools that helped people express their creativity and Steve Jobs knew that so he told that story well.

Lewis Schiff
One of the easiest ways to solve your problems is to look at how others have solved a similar problem. So, in this regard, we are using the same thinking of others.

I grew up in a modern business environment and did not experience the kind of prejudice that my mother and grandfather experienced.
Lewis Schiff
I would have to say that my mother's entrepreneurial perspective, and that of her father's, are very evident in my own outlook.
Lewis Schiff
Still, it formed one of my basic beliefs about success which is this: most of the time, success can be measured in terms of how much more than others you have of something that's in short supply. This includes money, reputation, respect, etc.

Harkening back to a story about my grandfather, I was lucky to attend a great high school in New York, Bronx High School of Science, which has produced more Nobel prize winners than any other high school in America.
Lewis Schiff
One of the things all entrepreneurs struggle with is where their efforts will have the highest impact. Unfortunately, too many of us continue to do the very same things that led to our initial success because we're good at it and we've created and invested in systems to support them
Lewis Schiff
I went to work at political consulting firms, graphic design and communications firms and ultimately, magazines. Today, my career is in the media business. And more specifically, I'm in the words side of the business as opposed to video or music.
Lewis Schiff
