—Isaiah	Hankel,	author	and	speaker

You	 can’t	 build	 a	 strong	 corporation	 with	 a	 lot	 of	 committees	 and	 a	 Board	 that
has	to	be	consulted	at	every	turn.	You	have	to	be	able	to	make	decisions	on	your
own.

         —Rupert	Murdoch,	media	mogul

In	 a	 start-up	 company,	 you	 basically	 throw	 out	 all	 assumptions	 every	 three
weeks.

         —William	Lyon	Phelps,	author,	critic,	and	scholar

We	 are	 always	 waiting	 for	 the	 perfect	 brief	 from	 the	 perfect	 client.	 It	 almost
never	 happens….	 Whatever	 is	 on	 your	 desk	 right	 now,	 that’s	 the	 one.	 Make	 it
the	best	you	possibly	can.

         —Paul	Arden,	advertising	executive

Before	 you	 start	 some	 work,	 always	 ask	 yourself	 three	 questions—Why	 am	 I
doing	 it,	 What	 the	 results	 might	 be	 and	 Will	 I	 be	 successful?	 Only	 when	 you
think	deeply	and	find	satisfactory	answers	to	these	questions,	go	ahead.

         —Chanakya,	Indian	teacher,	philosopher,	royal	advisor,	economist,	and	jurist
