I always knew I wanted to run a business someday.

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

You don’t have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream.

There are a lot of things that go into creating success. I don’t like to do just the things I like to do. I like to do things that cause the company to succeed. I don’t spend a lot of time doing my favorite activities.

There’s always an opportunity to make a difference.

Don’t spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, that you miss the right opportunity.

Whether you’ve found your calling, or if you’re still searching, passion should be the fire that drives your life’s work.

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

The key is to listen to your heart and let it carry you in the direction of your dreams. I’ve learned that it’s possible to set your sights high and achieve your dreams and do it with integrity, character, and love. And each day that you’re moving toward your dreams without compromising who you are, you’re winning.

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.

If you’re happy, that’s probably the most important thing. Everyone probably has their own definition of success, for me it’s happiness. Do I enjoy what I’m doing? Do I enjoy the people I’m with? Do I enjoy my life?
