I wasn't satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.
You're generally better off sticking with what you know.
Entrepreneurs are always taking feedback, especially from their customers, bankers, workers, and sales force. Without straightforward feedback, entrepreneurs cannot make sound decisions.
You can take the smartest kid at Wharton, the one who gets straight A's and has a 170 IQ, and if he doesn't have the instincts, he'll never be a successful entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurs are motivated by independence as well as challenge, knowing they are ultimately responsible for themselves. Monetary success is certainly helpful, but it often becomes more of a score card than anything else.
For entrepreneurs, ignorance is not bliss. It's fatal. It's costly. And it's for losers. You either get organized, or get crushed.
Entrepreneurs: See yourself as victorious- and the best way to be victorious is to be passionate. Find something you love doing!
If you cannot handle the pressure, don't be an entrepreneur. Go get a job!
Experience taught me to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper.
Watch, listen and learn. You can't know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.
