“Our business is about technology, yes. But it's also about operations and customer relationships.”
Michael Dell“Sometimes it's better not to ask-or to listen-when tell you something can't be done. I didn't ask for permission or approval. I just went ahead and did it.”
Michael Dell, Direct from Dell“There are a lot of things that go into creating success. I don't like to do just the things I like to do. I like to do things that cause the company to succeed. I don't spend a lot of time doing my favorite activities.”
Michael Dell“You don't have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream.”
Michael Dell“If you think about computing, there isn't just one way to compute, just like there's not just one way to move around. You can have shoes, you can have a car, you can have a bicycle, submarine, rocket, plane, train, glider, whatever. Because you have one doesn't mean you get rid of another one... But PCs continue to be important.”
Michael Dell“Real entrepreneurs have what I call the three Ps (and, trust me, none of them stands for 'permission'). Real entrepreneurs have a 'passion' for what they're doing, a 'problem' that needs to be solved, and a 'purpose' that drives them forward.”
Michael Dell“The interesting thing is when we design and architect a server, we don't design it for Windows or Linux, we design it for both. We don't really care, as long as we're selling the one the customer wants.”
Michael Dell“Our business is about technology, yes. But it's also about operations and customer relationships.”
Michael Dell“I always knew I wanted to run a business someday.”
Michael Dell“If you want to sustain excellence over a long time, you'd better come up with a system that works well. Anyone can sprint for a little while, but you can't sprint for forty years.”
