Only a fool never changes his mind.

Your company should act as a springboard for ambitious employees, not a set of shackles.

To be successful, you have to be out there, you have to hit the ground running, and if you have a good team around you and more than a fair share of luck, you might make something happen. But you certainly can't guarantee it just by following someone else's formula.

Be creative. Innovate consistently on the little things that the big companies ignore. Little things often make big differences in business.

In Africa, villagers look up to elders; they are the moral voice of their community.

My number one rule in business, and in life, is to enjoy what you do. Running a business involves long hours and hard decisions; if you don't have the passion to keep you going, your business will more than likely fail. If you don't enjoy what you are doing, then you shouldn't be doing it.

Put your passions to work to make this world a better place.
