Move fast. Forgive your mistakes. Keep going.

Build the business you would actually want to work for.

The harder the lesson, the more you needed it.

Your business won’t outgrow your own self-respect.

Competition is for people who do the same thing. Innovation is for people who want to own the market.

Success isn't a goal. It’s the byproduct of the habits you refuse to skip.

Great companies aren’t built on one "big break." They’re built on a thousand tiny, correct decisions.

Your business will grow to the extent that you do. Invest in your mind first.

Consistency is the only "hack" that actually works.

Hiring a "mini-me" won’t scale your business. Hiring someone who is better than you at the things you hate will.
