For those planning to go off the beaten path Ellison has this advice :

[nrumohammad0]

Maintain a humble attitude, so as not to be overwhelmed by competitors: "You have to be humble and admit that you don't know everything, you should never rest on your laurels, but continue to observe and learn. If we don't do this, a startup will surely emerge ready to take our place on the market".

One of the lessons he has learned in his long career concerns the relationship with customers:

“Treat everyone you work with like they are your most important client. In a couple of years, you will find that your client’s developer who was in charge of managing SEO has become the VP of Technology at another company. Treat everyone like a rock star: when they need an SEO expert for a new business, you will be the first one they call.”
