Breaking the rules and challenging convention is in the DNA of every successful entrepreneur.

If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes-then learn how to do it later!

If you do something for fun and create the best possible product, then the profit will come.

Realize that the people who are working with you, this is their life. You know, 80% of their time is spent at work. Make sure that they're proud of what they're doing, that they're enjoying what they're doing.

People do not mind people who try things and fail. If you're a good entrepreneur, you're not going to succeed in every single thing you try. You've got to try to succeed at more things than fail.

I have had a lot of fun pushing the boundaries on my balloon and kitesurf adventures, breaking some world records in the process, and I think this attitude of having fun whilst working hard is one that lends itself very well to successful entrepreneurship.

Every risk is worth taking as long as it's for a good cause, and contributes to a good life.
