Don’t worry about 
failure; you only have 
to be right once. 
DREW HOUSTON 
Dropbox, Co-Founder and CEO
In this ever-changing society, the most 
powerful and enduring brands are 
built from the heart. They are real 
and sustainable. Their foundations 
are stronger because they are built 
with the strength of the human 
spirit, not an ad campaign. The 
companies that are lasting are 
those that are authentic. 
HOWARD SCHULTZ 
CEO, Starbucks
You can’t connect the dots looking 
forward; you can only connect 
them looking backwards. So you 
have to trust that the dots will 
somehow connect in your future. 
STEVE JOBS 
CEO, Apple Inc.
Experience taught me a few things. 
One is to listen to your gut, no matter 
how good something sounds on paper. 
The second is that you're generally 
better o sticking with what you know. 
And the third is that sometimes your 
best investments are the ones 
you don't make. 
DONALD TRUMP 
CEO, The Trump Organization
There’s an entrepreneur right 
now, scared to death, making 
excuses, saying, “It’s not the 
right time just yet.” There’s no 
such thing as a good time. 
KEVIN PLANK 
CEO, Under Armour
It takes humility to realize that we 
don’t know everything, not to 
rest on our laurels and know that 
we must keep learning and 
observing. If we don't, we can be 
sure some startup will be there 
to take our place. 
CHER WANG 
CEO, HTC
Lots of companies don't 
succeed over time. What 
do they fundamentally 
do wrong? They usually 
miss the future. 
LARRY PAGE 
CEO, Google Inc.
The thing that I learned early on is 
you really need to set goals in your 
life, both short-term and long-term, 
just like you do in business. Having 
that long-term goal will enable you 
to have a plan on how to achieve it. 
We apply these skills in business, 
and yet when it comes to ourselves 
we rarely apply them. 
DENISE MORRISON 
CEO, Campbell Soup Co.
The distance between number 
one and number two is always 
a constant. If you want to 
improve the organization, you 
have to improve yourself and 
the organization gets pulled up 
with you. That is a big lesson. 
INDRA NOOYI 
Chairperson  CEO, PepsiCo
The way I think about culture is 
that modern humans have 
radically changed the way that 
they work and the way that they 
live. Companies need to change 
the way they manage and lead 
to match the way that modern 
humans actually work and live. 
BRIAN HALLIGAN 
CEO, Hubspot
I try not to make any 
decisions that I’m 
not excited about. 
JAKE NICKELL 
CEO, Threadless
