…
“Do you have an idea? Think hard with someone you trust, but keep your feet on the ground. Dreams are beautiful, but you shouldn’t lose your sense of reality.”
“Make up for your shortcomings. People who think they know everything are a disaster. I had a lot of shortcomings, but I made up for it with my talented staff.”
“Forget the 8-hour shift. A real entrepreneur has no timetable.”
“Be humble. There is always someone around you who can do better and is better than you.”
“Listen to them, but make the decisions yourself. A group never has any responsibility. Only you are responsible.”
“Leadership is about motivating, and it’s a good example to see first. Don’t forget to criticize, but start with the positive ones.”
“Resisting the fear of making mistakes is something I get trapped in from time to time. You can still have failures, learn to learn.”
“Don’t be complacent. When things start to go your way, maintain a sense of satisfaction, but don’t forget to look ahead.”
