If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they'd have said a faster horse. - Henry Ford

innovate. lead, don't follow. be market driven. never lose touch with the customer. don't let the inmates run the asylum.

develop a strong relationship with everyone you work with based on respect and credibility. they won't always agree with your decisions, but they will trust them if they trust you.

be passionate. work harder _and_ smarter. do what you do best. trust those who work for you. empower. learn from your mistakes. hire the best, fire the rest.

make decisions. better to be wrong than do nothing at all.

plan. success is when luck and preparation meet.

leverage your brand, but be consistent. stay inventive.

no paper partnerships. find those who have what you need and need what you have. know how to negotiate.

always be honest. always.
