You shouldn't be looking for people slipping up, you should be looking for all the good things people do and praising those.

Be swift to take advantage of business opportunities. Bigger companies are too cumbersome to move quickly; this can be a competitive advantage for you.

Confidence breeds confidence and negativity breeds negativity. Treat those around you with respect and dignity and they will thrive.

Coming up with the bucket list is the easy part, but ticking off the list is the challenge. I love a good challenge, which is why I strongly advise everyone to come up with a bucket list. It doesn't have to contain out of this world tasks. But once you have written down the list, screw it, just do it!

Being an entrepreneur simply means being someone who wants to make a difference to other people's lives.

Commitment is not letting people down. That's very important in life.

I have always looked on my businesses not just as money-making machines, but as adventures that can, I hope, make people better off.
