“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.”

If you don’t enjoy it, don’t do it. You must love what you do.

Give your employees a mission that matches their ambitions. When you challenge people, they surprise you.

Your company should act as a springboard for ambitious employees, not a set of shackles.

A good leader leads from the front. Don’t get stuck in the office. Get out, meet people and listen to their stories.

You can’t do a good business with a bad person. Find the right people to work with and you can’t go wrong.

Doing good is good for business.

To launch a business means successfully solving problems. Solving problems means listening.

Most skills can be learned, but it is difficult to train people on their personality.

Remember the to-do list but don’t forget the to-be list.

Please don’t get hung up on this question of whether you need to have experience in an industry before you launch your startup.

Don’t wait till you are big before you begin building your brand. Build a brand from scratch alongside your business.

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.
