The Secret: Sol Price Part XIII: The Irritation Within

At the end of our interview Sol Price left us with a few lines that seemed to sum up much of his highly entrepreneurial view of creativity and of business in general:

"Ideas come from that irritation within you. When you get satisfied, sell out and go live on an island--because somebody else has something to give. And you don't have it anymore."

"You'd better get better every single day. Never mind the old saying, 'If it ain't broke don't fix it.' If it ain't broke, fix it. Because if you don't, somebody else is going to fix it for you. And then they're going to fix you."
