When times are bad is when the real entrepreneurs emerge.

Start today, not tomorrow. If anything, you should have started yesterday.

When you go to buy, don’t show your silver

There’s an entrepreneur right now, scared to death, making excuses, saying, ‘It’s not the right time just yet.’ There’s no such thing as a good time. Get out of your garage and go take a chance, and start your business.

You have a viable business only if your product is either better or cheaper than the alternatives. If it’s not one or the other, you might make some money at first, but it’s not a sustainable business.

Get big quietly, so you don’t tip off potential competitors.

Even if you don’t have the perfect idea to begin with, you can likely adapt.

If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward.

Be undeniably good. No marketing effort or social media buzzword can be a substitute for that.

You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing and falling over.
