Vivek Ranadive has had a successful track record as an entrepreneur - from starting a company that automated trading floors to Tibco, a publicly-traded enterprise software company, with a market cap of nearly $2 billion and half a billion in sales. Vivek, who authored, "The Power of Now" and "The Power to Predict," shares his advice with entrepreneurs in this video. I personally like the point he makes about perseverance. It reminds me of this wonderful verse: "Let perseverance have its perfect work, so that we may be mature and complete, lacking nothing."

Very interesting to learn about the genesis of TIBCO. Vivek has clearly put his three rules to achieving business success to work for him…I particularly like his 2nd rule about always surrounding himself with incredibly smart people. Although I don’t for a second buy his claim about not being as smart as his team :)

Ranadive’s credentials are certainly impressive, but it is his ability to execute his technical vision that makes him a successful entrepreneur.
