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.

If you ain’t making waves, you ain’t kickin’ hard enough

Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.

People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Defeat isn’t bitter if you don’t swallow it.

We make a living by what we get. But we make a life by what we give.

User experience is everything. It always has been, but it’s undervalued and underinvested in. If you don’t know user-centered design, study it. Hire people who know it. Obsess over it. Live and breathe it. Get your whole company on board.

If you want to be inventive, you have to be willing to fail.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

One of the huge mistakes people make is that they try to force an interest on themselves. You don’t choose your passions; your passions choose you.

If plan ‘A’ fails

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I wasn’t satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others… I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent.

I failed my way to success.

The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.
