Don't equate activity with efficiency. You are paying your key people to see the big picture. Don't let them get bogged down in a lot of meaningless meetings and paper shuffling. Announce a Friday afternoon off once in a while. Cancel a Monday morning meeting or two. Tell the cast of characters you'd like them to spend the amount of time normally spent preparing for attending the meeting at their desks, simply thinking about an original idea.

Expect to make some mistakes when you try new and different approaches. Sometimes colossal failures lead to spectacular successes.

When you kill a little time, you may be murdering opportunity.

If you don't climb the mountain, you can't see the view

Failure is no more fatal than success is permanent.

Worrying makes you cross the bridge before you come to it.

When a person with money meets a person with experience, the person with the experience winds up with the money and the person with the money winds up with the experience.
