Put your passions to work to make this world a better place.

Never take your eyes off the cash flow because it's the life blood of business.

And if after all this you eventually fail; don't take it personal. Don't be ashamed to start all over again.

You can't do a good business with a bad person. Find the right people to work with and you can't go wrong.

I think in life the key thing is just to fight really hard to make sure something survives. If it looks like you've done everything you can to avoid failure, just move forward, move on and learn from it.

Your brand name is only as good as your reputation

I truly believe that capitalism was created to help people live better lives, but sadly over the years it has lost its way a bit. The short-term focus on profit has driven most businesses to forget about the important long-term role they have in taking care of people and the planet.
