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

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.

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.

Fishes live in the sea, as men do on land: the great ones eat up the little ones.

Most important thing is to get rid of doubt. If you got doubt in what you’re doing it’s not gonna work.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Healthy mindset is a key to wealthy life.

Your competitor is not other people. Your competitor is your ego.

It breaks my heart that some people are only kind when there is something in it for them. Everything is a business now, including human decency.

I had fun in the markets for a while but learned investing in myself and business was a better use of my funds.

You have to put in the effort and go above and beyond everything you know. ⁣
