#Create A Difference

"Don't get too much focused on proving that you are smart or right. Instead, look at creating some positive difference (in people's life)," he advised.

#Customer Is The King

Entrepreneur should remember people have the power to decide, and should make peace with that.

He proposed, "Not the best or the brightest person, but the decision maker is going to be your customer. So, if you want to make a positive difference, you need to influence the decision makers, i.e your customers,"

#Talent Should Be Equal To Value
