I sold Blockbuster because I saw what was coming: the satellite dish, technology that would make the business obsolete in a few years. Why would people go to a store for a video and then have to return it when they had a dish?
By the time I got involved, Blockbuster had already worked out some of the kinks.
I liked being CEO of Blockbuster, but my job is to put it on the bottom line for shareholders.
To me, my business is my life.
You always hear about delegation, but people make the mistake of delegating and not following up. I give authority, but I stay in touch. Otherwise it doesn't work.
We had a saying at Blockbuster: 'If you don't come in on Saturday, don't bother coming in on Sunday.' We worked hard.

I don't buy cars I can't drive.
If you're a sponsor, and you're doing business globally, to bring your guests to South Florida is pretty nice.
Dolphins games always have been among the most popular NFL telecasts in England.
You don't make any money sitting in traffic.
I enjoy building something good and having a successful product and making money.
I enjoy building more than managing.
I busted my butt all my life building companies.
