My Golden Rule of Networking is simple: Don't keep score.

Ego stops you from getting things done and getting people to work with you. That's why I firmly believe that ego and success are not compatible.

When an employee asks why the company does things a certain way, and you can explain the logical reason, then the employee knows what she's doing is valid.

Most business problems can be solved if you can teach yourself to look beyond the dollar sign.

Believe in yourself, even when no one else does.

A string of successes can kill you if they make you think, 'Hey, I'm smart; I can't make any mistakes'.

The life of a startup is full of ups and downs, an emotional roller coaster ride that you can't quite imagine if you've spent your whole career in a corporation.
