You have to be constantly reinventing yourself and investing in the future.

Starting a company is like throwing yourself off the cliff and assembling an airplane on the way down.

If you want to be somebody else, change your mind.

The key thing is to invest in the future, and what that means is - when you're deploying technology or you're a technology business - is to make sure that you're keeping on the innovation cycle, where you're both creating and adopting the new business practices and the new techniques in order to drive your business the right way.

Everything in life has some risk, and what you have to actually learn to do is how to navigate it.

Your network is the people who want to help you, and you want to help them, and that's really powerful.
