Meet regularly with your business team and brainstorm. Intricate business problems are mostly resolved at brainstorming sessions.
Tough times are inevitable in life and in business. But how you compose yourself during those times defines your spirit and will define your future.
Be creative. Innovate consistently on the little things that the big companies ignore. Little things often make big differences in business.
If you follow your dreams and spend your life doing what brings you joy, you are more likely to find success.
Learn to live on the edge.
Look for the best in people to build a fantastic team.
If you create something that makes a difference in people’s lives, you are likely to become a business success as well.
There’s no better satisfaction than watching the people around you, who have worked day and night to get something right, realising the dream.
Talent comes from experience and failure.
Run lean; avoid unnecessary expenses.

It is important in life to turn adversity to success.

If you want milk, don’t sit on a stool in the middle of a field in the hope that a cow will back up to you.
If you can run one company, you can run another. Running companies are about inspiring and driving the best out of people.
Money is a poor indicator of success.
I’ve always had a soft spot for dreamers – not those who waste their time thinking ‘what if’ but the ones who look to the sky and say ‘why can’t I shoot for the moon?’
I have always lived my life by making lists: lists of people to call, lists of ideas, lists of companies to set up, lists of people who can make things happen. Each day I work through these lists, and that sequence of calls propels me forward.
I learnt from an early age the need to delegate responsibility out to other team members as there is just too much for one person to do themselves. What is the point of hiring talented team members if you don’t give them the freedom to make the most of the chance you have given them?
