"I think there is one shortcut to running a company and that is mentoring. Having mentors or people you can exchange your needs with at eye-level in a very trusting relationship, where you can share “this is how i did it and it didn't work” or “this is how i did it and it worked”. Creating networks that do this - i think is a really, really valuable shortcut. I think it's the other way to improve running a company, next to trying everything yourself. Using other people’s experience can be a very, very helpful shortcut."
