Your solution for a customer has to be either amazingly valuable to someone who will pay an enormous amount of money for it or has to be valuable to an enormous number of people who pay a small amount. And also the person you're talking to-especially if you want to raise capital or raise support-has to personally say, "I want that. I like that. That sounds really great. I want that for myself."

When you develop yourself to the point where your belief in yourself is so strong that you know that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to, your future will be unlimited.

Your most important tasks and priorities are those that can have the most serious consequences, positive or negative, on your life or work. Focus on these above all.

The better you get at your key skills, the more you accomplish in a shorter period of time.

Be a lifelong student. The more you learn, the more you earn and the more self-confidence you will have.

Growth and fulfillment come from abandoning old practices and embracing new ones.

Keep asking yourself, 'What kind of a company would my company be if everyone in it was just like me?'
