My goal was livelihood. We don't use that word often enough. If I could give one piece of advice to anyone it's don't obsess with this notion that you have to turn everything you do into a business, because that ends up being a small version of a large company. But if you can create an honorable livelihood, where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it, it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want.

I think the leadership of a company should encourage the next generation not just to follow, but to overtake.

The word love is never mentioned in big business.

We are essentially outsiders and that is the best definition of an entrepreneur I have ever come across.

My passionate belief is that business can be fun, it can be conducted with love and a powerful force for good.

I think that business practices would improve immeasurably if they were guided by "feminine" pinciples, qualities like love, care, and intuition.
