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

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.

The brands that will thrive in the coming years are the ones that have a purpose beyond profit.

Tough times are inevitable in life and in business. But how you compose yourself during those times defines your spirit and will define your future.

Talent comes from experience and failure.

Screw it, just do it!

A company’s employees are its greatest asset and your people are your product.

Respect is how to treat everyone, not just those you want to impress.

My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself.
