Ideas Are The Lifeblood Of Business. Capture Every Fleeting Idea And Drive For Change.

One thing is certain in business: you will make mistakes. When you are pushing the boundaries, mistakes are inevitable-how you react is important.

Find somebody else to run your business on a day-to-day basis.

Kitesurfing is one of the greatest sports in the world. I highly recommend this to anyone who has access to the ocean. There is nothing more freeing than being out there and kitesurfing. When my schedule permits, it's the first thing I do in the morning, before I have breakfast. Tennis is also fun, especially against someone far better at the sport than I am.

I think that being a business a leader that treads all over people to get to the top is actually not the way I think to become a successful business leader.

I have had a lot of fun pushing the boundaries on my balloon and kitesurf adventures, breaking some world records in the process, and I think this attitude of having fun whilst working hard is one that lends itself very well to successful entrepreneurship.

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