You don't have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream.

If you're happy, that's probably the most important thing. Everyone probably has their own definition of success, for me it's happiness. Do I enjoy what I'm doing? Do I enjoy the people I'm with? Do I enjoy my life?

One of the things was to create a kind of amnesty environment.

I believe that you have to understand the economics of a business before you have a strategy, and you have to understand your strategy before you have a structure. If you get these in the wrong order, you will probably fail.

Ignore the people who tell you it won't work, and hire people who embrace your vision.

Recognize that there will be failures, and acknowledge that there will be obstacles. But you will learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others, for there is very little learning in success.

Celebrate for a nanosecond.
