Sweat equity is the best startup capital.

It doesn't matter how many times you fail. You only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you that you are an overnight success.

Brains are far more important than money or connections. Everyone and anyone can create a business out of their bedroom.

Focus on building the best possible business. If you are great, people will notice and opportunities will appear.

Sweat equity is the most valuable equity there is. Know your business and industry better than anyone else in the world. Love what you do or don't do it.

Doesn't matter if the glass is half-empty or half-full. All that matters is that you are the one pouring the water.

Everyone has ideas. The first step is to learn more about your industry than anyone in the world. Otherwise there is a good chance that the lady that knows it better than you is going to kick your ass. Then you just have to go for it. No excuses. Just work your ass off.
