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

To me, business isn’t about wearing suits or pleasing stockholders. It’s about being true to yourself, your ideas and focusing on the essentials.

Learn to use your brain power. Critical thinking is the key to creative problem solving in business.

Successful entrepreneurs don’t wait for the perfect moment – they create it.

Communicate your passion clearly, concisely and with genuine conviction.

The way you treat your employees is the way they will treat your customers.

Don’t bother doing something unless you’re radically different from the competition.

Education doesn’t just take place in stuffy classrooms and university buildings, it can happen everywhere, every day to every person.

Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to keep things simple.

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

I am a great believer that you need passion and energy to create a truly successful business.

Every success story is a tale of constant adaption, revision and change.

Have fun, work hard and money will come. Don’t waste time – grab your chances. Have a positive outlook on life. When it’s not fun, move on.

Don’t become a slave to technology – manage your phone, don’t let it manage you.

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.

If you don’t find the time, if you don’t do the work, you don’t get the results.

Optimism is important. You have to be a little silly about the goals you are going to set. You should try to do things that most people would not do.

ASAP. Whatever that means. It must mean, ‘Act swiftly awesome pacyderm!

The best way to understanding is a few good examples.

I’m a workaholic and I don’t believe in ‘no.’ If I’m not sleeping, nobody’s sleeping.

Especially in technology, we need revolutionary change, not incremental change.

Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell ’em, ‘Certainly I can!’ Then get busy and find out how to do it.
