Good brands reflect the histories of the time and the group of people that made them. They can not be copied. They can not be recycled.

I believe in goals. It's never a bad thing to have a dream. If something is really what you want to do, just do it. Whatever your goal.

Having a good network can be invaluable. It opens doors for you and allows you to enter into opportunities that are beneficial to your business.

My definition of success? The more you are actively and practically engaged, the more successful you will feel.

Learn to live on the edge.

When employees tell you about their good ideas for the business, don't limit your response to asking questions, taking notes and following up. If you can, ask those people to lead their projects and take responsibility for them. From those experiences, they will then have built the confidence to take on more and you can take a further step back.
