It is the satisfaction of doing it for yourself and motivating others to work with you in bringing it about. It is about the fun, innovation, creativity with the rewards being far greater than purely financial.

A company is simply a group of people. And as a leader of people, you have to be a great listener, you have to be a great motivator, you have to be very good at praising and looking for the best in people. People are no different from flowers. If you water flowers, they flourish. If you praise people, they flourish. That's a critical attribute of a leader.

Red tape will often get in your way. It's one of the reasons I often carry scissors!

I do believe the harder you work, the luckier you get.

You've got to take risks if you're going to succeed. I would much rather ask forgiveness than permission.

Only a fool never changes his mind.

Believe in yourself and back yourself to come out on top. A fulfilling career is waiting for those brave enough to find it.
