1

Wise is the founder who understands that

playing solo is playing small.

Far more successful is the one who celebrates the uniqueness of others

and always, always has their back.

2

When you say ‘no’ to the status quo, not only will you stretch your comfort zone,

you’ll forever change your normal.

3

Observe today’s soaring business, and you’ll notice this winning formula:Incredible people + a Kickass product + a Worthy cause = Success

4

Stay within your circle of competence.

Own the skill that you want to winand outsource the rest.

5

Hire those willing to give their heart and soul to your company,and you’ll do big things with a small team.

6

No business is immune to challenge and struggle.

However, winners see them less like a tsunami

and more like a ripple.

7

When your brand is in alignment with your “why,”

everything you do will be PR.

8

Powerful is the leader who delegates control;

she trusts herself.

9

Outside of making a difference,the biggest goal an entrepreneur should strive for

is freedom.

10

The most important gifts that you can give someone -

be it your kids or an employee - are:autonomy, a sense of fearlessness about the world, and the belief that they can make a difference.

Do you prefer to jump over 7-foot bars or 1-foot bars?

REALLY REFLECT...
