Without question, the single most important attribute of a successful entrepreneur is integrity. And that's not some philosophical or theoretical malarkey; it's hard-nosed fact.

I like to invest in companies where I can really add value from my experience, network, etc., so checking out my portfolio of other investments, and my background, will generally give some guidance there.

I almost never invest in ideas or plans, so you'll need to have a company and at least a product, if not customers.

The entrepreneurial life is one of challenge, work, dedication, perseverance, exhilaration, agony, accomplishment, failure, sacrifice, control, powerlessness... but ultimately, extraordinary satisfaction.

Women today are bombarded with so many messages, like we should have Naomi Campbell's body and Madeleine Albright's career.

I love singing fun songs; I've built a career on them.

The first job I had with what you might call human dignity, meaning with an office of my own and a bit of self-determination, was in technical writing, and only after I moved to Tel Aviv, where being a native English speaker is a meal ticket.

You've got to make sure that every body's putting in the work and you've got to have the discipline to go out there and get the job done.
