Business is not about money. It's about making dreams come true for others and for yourself.

Are you helping people? Are they happy? Are you happy? Are you profitable? Isn't that enough?

In the end, it's about what you want to be, not what you want to have.

If you want to be useful, you can always start now. It will be a humble prototype of your grand vision, but you’ll be in the game. Start by teaching someone this week. Starting small puts 100% of your energy into solving real problems for real people.

Success comes from persistently improving and inventing, not from persistently promoting what’s not working.

Make every decision—even decisions about whether to expand the business, raise money, or promote someone—according to what's best for your customers.

If it's not a hit, switch.
