Most innovation comes from outside your industry applied to your own

Ask yourself: would you be comfortable printing everything your employees, customers & partners have to say about your culture?

I think a much better use of time and resources is to really focus on your existing users or customers and figure out what changes can you make in the Web site, the service, the product, whatever, to get them to come back more often to generate that repeat business and once you kind of figure out that formula, then when you get new customers the whole thing just kind of grows exponentially.

My advice is to stop trying to "network" in the traditional business sense, and instead just try to build up the number and depth of your friendships, where the friendship itself is its own reward. The more diverse your set of friendships are, the more likely you'll derive both personal and business benefits from your friendship later down the road. You won't know exactly what those benefits will be, but if your friendships are genuine, those benefits will magically appear 2-3 years later down the road.

Don't play games that you don't understand, even if you see lots of other people making money from them.

Money alone isn't enough to bring happiness... happiness is when you're actually truly ok with losing everything you have.

Good businesses generate missions to drive their profits. Great businesses generate profits to drive their missions.
