When people warn me against doing something once my mind is made up, I grow increasingly determined to try it.

Having a personality of caring about people is important. You can’t be a good leader unless you generally like people. That is how you bring out the best in them.

People are no different from flowers. If you water them, they flourish. If you are not nice to them, they shrivel up

If you get your face and your name out there enough, people will start to recognize you.

A good idea for a new business tends not to occur in isolation, and often the window of opportunity is very small. So speed is of the essence.

If family or friends are unwell or ill - it's perhaps the only thing that really can make one feel vulnerable.

As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation.
