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. So, rather than avoiding the risk of trying, avoid the risk of not trying. Nothing is more haunting than thinking, ‘I wish I had’.

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

Don't be shy about believing in your ideas - even if folks around you think you're crazy.

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