Michelle Madhok
This document provides 8 mantras or pieces of advice for growing a business: make mistakes using other people's resources instead of your own; ask forgiveness instead of permission; face your fears and take action anyway; ask for what you want since you may get it; most of success comes from consistent effort; luck favors the prepared when opportunities arise; take any action instead of no action if you're unsure; and don't limit possibilities by assuming something isn't possible.
Change
Most people initially resist new ideas through denial or hesitation. To create change without direct control, one should define their passionate idea through writing a vision and elevator speech. It is then important to build a small coalition of committed supporters, even just one person, to help achieve the idea through focused strategy and results rather than by starting at the top. Finding donors can also help collaborate as powerful partners in creating change from the bottom-up.
Persistence: The Key to Success
Discover the keys of success in business by learning how to be persistent.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems for the human race.

LABS >what is stopping us getting to great work?

I present you 10 most important things to remember while setting up your own start-up company. 10 easy tips to survive!
Cynical Optimism by Marco Ceglie
This document discusses the concept of "cynical optimism", which involves being your own toughest critic in order to achieve success.

The document stresses the importance of knowing your subject thoroughly before presentations, reevaluating when you have more answers than questions, and launching products only after refinement. While optimism is vital, inaction builds nothing.

The importance of urgency hbr
Urgency is important for long term survival in a rapidly changing environment. Complacency is the enemy of urgency. Leaders must help organizations embrace urgency through recognizing opportunities for change, bringing external perspectives inside, and maintaining urgency even after successes to prevent complacency from setting in. Without sustained urgency, companies will struggle to adapt and remain competitive.

Thomas Edison quotes
- 1. Thomas Edison Quotes: Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits. Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing. I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
