If you are a new startup company, try not to arouse the interest or suspicion of your competition; especially if they are a bigger company. They can crush you while you are still in your startup phase. Lie low while still strengthening your bottom line.

Smiling can be a competitive advantage. It makes everyone feel better and every situation brighter.

Lead by listening - to be a good leader you have to be a great listener.

Well, I think that there's a very thin dividing line between success and failure. And I think if you start a business without financial backing, you're likely to go the wrong side of that dividing line.

Remain focused on fulfilling your business mission. Never allow adversity divert your attention and efforts.

Please don’t get hung up on this question of whether you need to have experience in an industry before you launch your startup.

If people are jumping down people's throats all the time, in the end, they'll just shrivel up like a flower shrivels up that's not watered.
