Just be prepared for a long and often uncertain journey. The good stuff doesn't come easy.

Be sure to ‘notice’ ideas when you have them. Stop. Take the time to consider them seriously. And if your gut tells you they're compelling, be fearless in their pursuit . we live life only once.

Make your team feel respected, empowered and genuinely excited about the company's mission.
