Life’s too short. If you’re passionate – stand up.
A good leader leads from the front. Don’t get stuck in the office. Get out, meet people and listen to their stories.
Don’t wait till you are big before you begin building your brand. Build a brand from scratch alongside your business.
Never take your eyes off the cash flow because it’s the life blood of business.
I’m a great believer in life to saying yes and not saying no, and hopefully making people smile and just having fun in life.
If you are a new startup company, try not to arouse the interest or suspicion of your competition; especially if they are a bigger company. They can crush you while you are still in your startup phase. Lie low while still strengthening your bottom line.
The world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.
Believe in yourself and back yourself to come out on top. A fulfilling career is waiting for those brave enough to find it.
Launching a business is essentially an adventure in problem-solving.
I think you should do in life what you think you’ll make a real difference at. And generally, as a businessperson, you do things you don’t really have experience in.
Don’t bother doing something unless you’re radically different from the competition.
Whether we’re fighting climate change or going to space, everything is moved forward by computers, and we don’t have enough people who can code.
Being an entrepreneur simply means being someone who wants to make a difference to other people’s lives.
I’m a true believer in working hard and partying hard. I’m fortunate to be one of those people who can have just as much fun partying without alcohol.
The best way forward is to give more people everywhere greater power to build their own destinies.
If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.
To be successful, you have to be out there, you have to hit the ground running, and if you have a good team around you and more than a fair share of luck, you might make something happen. But you certainly can’t guarantee it just by following someone else’s formula.
Remember the to-do list but don’t forget the to-be list.
If you’re lucky enough to have a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank account, that should be sufficient for your own personal needs, and anything more than that you’ve got to put to good use.
Publicity is absolutely critical. A good PR story is infinitely more effective than a front page ad.
