The companies that look after their people are the companies that do really well. I'm sure we'd like a few other attributes, but that would be the most important one.

I think that being a business a leader that treads all over people to get to the top is actually not the way I think to become a successful business leader.

Be the best at what you do

Early on in your career, find someone better than yourself to run the business on a day-to-day basis. Remove yourself, maybe even from the building, and from the nitty-gritty. That way, you're going to be able to see the bigger picture and think of new areas to go into.

Chance favors the prepared mind. The more you practice, the luckier you become.

One thing is certain in business: you will make mistakes. When you are pushing the boundaries, mistakes are inevitable-how you react is important.

Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming.
