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. In this sense, 'who you know' is undoubtedly important, but to me 'what you know' is more important because once an opportunity shows itself, it is up to you to make the most of it, and this is down to your knowledge and skill.

The best advice I ever received? Simple: Have no regrets.

To be a great leader, you must be a great listener

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

Our generation has inherited an incredibly beautiful world from our parents and they from their parents. It is in our hands whether our children and their children inherit the same world. We must not be the generation responsible for irreversibly damaging the environment.

Develop the business around the people; build it, don't buy it; and, then, be the best.

You shouldn’t blindly accept a leader’s advice. You’ve got to question leaders on occasion.
