 Here are MacDonald's pearls of wisdom you would have written down if you were there:

• "Nobody got to a big business without starting small."
• "Always pay your supplier even if you have no money to pay yourself."
• "I made a lot of mistakes, but I never made the same mistake twice."
• "Surround yourself with smart people."
• "I love hiring the best and paying them more than the market."
• "I never ask others to do something I'm not prepared to do myself."
• "If I can do it, everyone can do it."
• "I thought $1 million was a lot, $10 million was a lot, $100 million was a lot, $1 billion was a lot. Now I want to shoot for $10 billion."
