“You can’t run a business without taking risks. The brave may not live forever – but the cautious do not live at all!”

Confidence breeds confidence and negativity breeds negativity.

Innovation happens when people are given the freedom to ask questions and the resources and power to find the answers.

Unless you dream, nothing will happen. If you dream, you might be able to make your dreams come true.

Once a changemaker, always a changemaker but only a few swim against the tide.

There is so much to be learned from listening to people’s hopes, frustrations, and points of view.

My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, ‘Oh God, I’ve got to do this today.’

There are no quick wins in business – it takes years to become an overnight success.

The amount of time people waste dwelling on failures rather than putting that energy into another project, always amazes me.

I am convinced that companies should put staff first, customers second and shareholders third – ultimately that’s in the best interest of customers and shareholders.

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

If you take care of your workers they’ll take care of your business.

Throwing yourself into a job you enjoy is one of the life’s greatest pleasures!

Starting a business is a huge amount of hard work. You had better enjoy it.

If you get into business solely to make money, you won’t. If you try to make a real difference, you’ll find success.

Life’s too short. If you’re passionate – stand up.

If you look for the best in your employees, they’ll flourish. If you criticize or look for the worst, they’ll shrivel up. We all need lots of watering.

You, when I’m afraid, and you when I’m brave.

The critic hates most that which he would have done himself if he had had the guts.

Figure out what scares you the most and do that first.

Usually we think that brave people have no fear. The truth is that they are intimate with fear.

It’s OKAY to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.

It’s better to be in the arena, getting stomped by the bull, than to be up in the stands or out in the parking lot.

I will tremble. But that is not to say I am not brave.

Be brave. Fall like the rain not knowing where it will land.
