Red tape will often get in your way. It's one of the reasons I often carry scissors!

People have to decide on priorities if they want to get anywhere. The best lessons I learned was to just do it.

If you can run one company, you can run another. Running companies are about inspiring and driving the best out of people.

I felt uneasy about making the rapid decisions I have always made, and wondered whether every decision should be formally ratified and minuted at a board meeting.
