Our business is about technology, yes. But it's also about operations and customer relationships.

Collaboration equals innovation.
believe order failing
I believe that you have to understand the economics of a business before you have a strategy, and you have to understand your strategy before you have a structure. If you get these in the wrong order, you will probably fail.
blessed adventure skills
With the understanding that you will face tough times and amazing experiences, you must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed with and go.
people trying rooms
Try never to be the smartest person in the room. And if you are, I suggest you invite smarter people … or find a different room.
inspiration passion fire
Whether you've found your calling, or if you're still searching, passion should be the fire that drives your life's work.

Regrets are born of paths never taken.
opportunity failing rate
Don’t be afraid to fail. Get out there and experiment and learn and fail and get a rate based on the experiences you have. Go for it and when you go for it you’ll learn what you’re capable of, what the potential is, where the opportunities are, but you can’t be afraid to fail because that’s when you learn.
Anything that can be measured can be improved

Recognize that there will be failures, and acknowledge that there will be obstacles. But you will learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others, for there is very little learning in success.
dream moving winning
Each day that you're moving toward your dreams without compromising who you are, you're winning
mean successful acceptance
You just have to change. To be successful, what you have to do is have an acceptance of risk and you have to be pretty explicit about that, because if you don’t accept risk, you don’t get any innovation. And that means part of risk is you have to accept failure because not everything works.
