If you have conflicts, everything breaks down in society. Kids can't go to school. Basic health can't be looked after. Every aspect of society falls apart.

In business, as in life, all that matters is that you do something positive.

I think entrepreneurship is our natural state--a big adult word that probably boils down to something much more obvious like playfulness.

If you spot an opportunity and are really excited by it, throw yourself into it with everything you've got.

Have passion for what you do; believe in yourself and your product and your customer; persevere; delegate; listen. Have fun. Today, I add: "Do good".

The time to go into a new business is when it’s badly run by others.

As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation. I have to be good at helping people run the individual businesses, and I have to be willing to step back. The company must be set up so it can continue without me.
