Best advice of
this lesson: Statistics show more than half of all businesses that start up
fail. About half of all marriages fail too, but that doesn’t stop people from
getting married. If you go into business or marriage thinking you’ll fail
because most people do, chances are you’ll fail. Pay no attention to the
statistics. Own your dream and give it 10% chance from your hard work and
determination to succeed.
Guy Kawasaki
Money isn’t all
its cracked up to be. Have a goal to change the world, not to make as much
money as you can. While in school, live off your parents as long as you can.
Don’t rush through school to get to the workforce faster. Take your time. Enjoy
school. Enjoy traveling abroad and seeing the world beyond the textbooks and
real life jobs.
Carly Fiorina
Leadership is
about capability, collaboration, character. Most important capability you can
have is to ask a question and hear the answer. Customers may not always be able
to tell you what they want, but they can always tell you what’s wrong. Don’t
quit innovating and taking risks. Celebrating new ideas is a leading indicator
of a business. Every person reaches a time when the old answers aren’t good
enough anymore and the only thing that works is creativity and risk taking and
innovation. The people who keep learning and trying new things remain vibrant
and young. Don’t stop learning.
Be willing to
change and to innovate. Don’t think you have all the answers. Charles Darwin said,“It
is not the strongest of the species that survives nor the most intelligent, but
those most adaptive to change”
Best perks of
being an entrepreneur: work where you want (at home or a remote island), work
with who you want (no more coworkers who skate by and but in minimum effort),
you’re in charge of your time, you’re in charge of your success.
