Advice for entrepreneurs: 

• We all have these great ideas that come along. The challenge is picking out the right one. 
• You've got to have the guts to go for it. Have that fortitude to keep moving along.

• Work ethic is contagious. Set the example, culture and expectations and you'll get where you need to.
• Success is a product of risk and effort. You don't start off at the top, you have to climb the mountain. Nobody is going to do it for you. 
• Success doesn't happen overnight. You are going to have bad days. You grow and improve by dealing with adversity, not by running from it.
