Life is a series of ups and clowns. Make it worth your wild!

You need lucky breaks to be successful.

If you get your face and your name out there enough, people will start to recognize you.

People who work for me are working for what I believe in. The leaders who run our companies do so on the basis of those who came first and who said, "A company is its people." I hope my companies are run on the basis of praising their workers and looking for the best in them, not criticizing them. In the same way that you water a plant and it sprouts leaves, people flourish when you praise them.

It's incredible to get people to turn out right in the middle of no where.

Don't become a slave to technology - manage your phone, don't let it manage you.

In the same way that I tend to make up my mind about people within thirty seconds of meeting them, I also make up my mind about whether a business proposal excites me within about thirty seconds of looking at it. I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics.
