The 3Ss of Winning in business are speed, simplicity, and self-confidence.

Innovation is not a big breakthrough invention every time. Innovation is a constant thing. But if you don't have an innovative company [team], coming to work everyday to find a better way, you don't have a company[team]. You're getting ready to die on the vine.

And cash flow is the pulse—the key vital sign of a company.
