What's the ROI of your mum? You can't put a value on a relationship.
I went online with winelibrary.com in July of 1997; that was my first professional online play.
I didn't start with a lot. I have friends who started with a lot who have now built on top of it, and I'm impressed because I used to think that was a disadvantage. I think there are a million ways to do it.
The only differentiator in the game is your passion and your hustle.
When the tech geeks talk, I pay close attention.
If people say you shouldn't pursue business around your passion they are haters. Don't believe them.
