‘Today, we need to fundamentally change the software of our mental and instinctual programming from one based on threat and survival to one of promise and prosperity.’

‘Our future is not cast in stone. It is a malleable and dynamic fabric of amazing potentialities, possibilities, and probabilities. And every passing moment is an opportunity for our intervention.’

‘Every act is an irrevocable selection and inclusion. In other words, by making the deliberate choice- or allowing others to make the choice for us- we determine the future state!

‘If the world were perfect, it would be. Problems are life’s essential feedstock. Without problems to solve, there is no motivating tension; without tension, there is no progress; without progress, there is only stagnation.’

‘The minute you believe something is impossible, it becomes impossible for you. I believe that there are very few problems that can’t be solved with imagination, innovation, and competent entrepreneurship- provided they don’t break too many laws of physics.’

‘People tend to get caught up in seeing the world only as it is and not imagining what the world could be. If you focus only on what the world is, then you are resigning yourself to a particular destiny.’

‘People often say the sky is the limit. The sky is not the limit. There is no such limit. It is an articficial boundary. Imagination is our only limit.‘

‘All the transformation we need is available on demand as a function of our search. Today that works requires an intermediary- a mobile phone or computer that connects us to information. Tomorrow we may not require the intermediary.’

‘Our curiosity doesn’t die out, it is wiped out. Consequently, as would-be moonshot entrepreneurs, it’s likely that we’ll have a little rehabilitation to do.’

‘Curiosity doesn’t care about comfort. Curiosity has no fear of the unknown. Curiosity is precisely about being drawn to novel things because they are new and strange and unknown.’

‘What makes a good entrepreneur? Are they born or made?’

‘Entrepreneurs constantly question and challenge business scenarios and always look for a way to make things work better or introduce a new product or service.’

‘Not all entrepreneurs run their own businesses. Are you, or could you be, an entrepreneurial employee?’

‘The most important thing when planning your business should be the accuracy of your facts and statistics. Don’t let passion cloud your judgment.’

‘Understanding every aspect of your business is of paramount importance when talking to lenders and investors.’

‘Choosing the correct business structure from the outset will save you money and taxes and may protect you from legal issues down the road.’

‘If you don’t have enough seed money to begin the process of starting your own company, find a creative way to raise it.’

‘Be willing to invest your own money and assets in your business before asking lenders and investors to risk their money.’

‘Prepare a professional presentation when approaching potential investors.’

‘Never take for granted that your financial statements are correct. People make mistakes, so they can be wrong. Have someone you trust, a good financial person, look after your financials.’

‘Overconfidence in your product or service can be dangerous.’
