You don't need every investor to believe that you can succeed. You only need one.

Until you make the effort to get to know someone or something, you don’t know anything.

If you have never done the job, how do you know what to want?

The person they're working with, is going to be the person they'll know more. So if that person leaves, they're going to go - well, should have I left too? What did they get and how does that compare to my deal.

Generally the reason they fail in the job is, you made some mistake in the hiring process in that you didn't match... them to the needs of your company accurately enough. That's the #1 reason this fails. And that's generally a good place to start: Here's where we are and here's what I didn't recognize about us and about you when I made the decision, and now it is what it is.

Yeah, I became a successful entrepreneur... Eventually

In my experience as CEO, I found that the most important decisions tested my courage far more than my intelligence.
