Build your own business team. Survival in business requires a synergy of skills.

One of the best bits of advice I can give is, early on, when you're building a new business, try to find somebody to run it on a day-to-day basis to free yourself up to look at the bigger picture.

Spend more time smiling than frowning and more time praising than criticizing.

Your employees are your company’s real competitive advantage. They’re the ones making the magic happen-so long as their needs are being met.

The entrepreneurs who succeed usually want to make a difference to people’s lives, not just their own bank balances.

Always think, 'what's the worst that can happen' and have some kind of strategy to deal with it

In the beginning it was just about the business - now it's about the brand.
