Hire character. Train skill.
You can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.
You can't be paralyzed by fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You keep pushing because you believe in yourself and in your vision. And you know that it is the right thing to do and success will come.
While you're out there partying, horsing around, someone out there at the same time is working hard. Someone is getting smarter and someone is winning. Just remember that.
People work better when they know what the goal is and why. It is important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning and enjoy working.
Hire for passion and intensity; there is training for everything else.
The successful man is the one who finds out what is the matter with his business before his competitors do.
Chase the vision, not the money. The money will end up following you.
If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.
Always deliver more than expected.
Don’t start a company unless it’s an obsession and something you love. If you have an exit strategy, it’s not an obsession.
So often people are working hard at the wrong thing. Working on the right thing is probably more important than working hard.
Embrace what you don’t know, especially in the beginning, because what you don’t know can become your greatest asset. It ensures that you will absolutely be doing things different from everybody else.
A business is simply an idea to make other people’s lives better.
To launch a business means successfully solving problems. Solving problems means listening.
The common question that gets asked in business is, ‘why?’ That’s a good question, but an equally valid question is, ‘why not?’
A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
There is no substitute for hard work.
Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.
