“Have faith in yourself. Think yes not no. Live life to the full. Never give up.”

All successful people – not just entrepreneurs – have got things wrong over and over again before finding the right solution.

Colleagues should take care of each other, have fun, celebrate success, learn by failure, look for reasons to praise not to criticize, communicate freely and respect each other.

Create the kind of workplace and company culture that will attract great talent. If you hire brilliant people, they will make work feel more like play.

Rather than getting nostalgic, embrace the new opportunities and challenges available to you now.

Please be polite. Nothing in life should erode the habit of saying thank you to people or praising them.

Play fair, be prepared for others to play dirty, and don’t let them drag you into the mud.

Your brand name is only as good as your reputation.

Follow your instincts and live with the consequences.

Only a fool never changes his mind.

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

Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to.

If people aren’t calling you crazy, you aren’t thinking big enough.

No failure means no risk, which means nothing new.

Learn to look after your staff first and the rest will follow.

I have always believed that there is no point in having regrets as you learn far more from mistakes than successes. Embrace a mistake and learn from it; don’t regret them.

If you’re looking to become an entrepreneur then don’t waste your time going to university or business school – just get on and do it.

The first part of planning is to believe that you can put that plan into practice.

But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.

If you find success in a different path at a different rate, celebrate and don’t ever doubt yourself.

If you’ve never tried, how will you ever know if there’s any chance?

Rejection is better than doing nothing. The more you try, the better you get.

Good marketing skills allow you to charge extra money for your time and skills.

Get your passion back; get your fire back.

Not all positive change look positive at the start.
