As all entrepreneurs know, you live and die by your ability to prioritize. You must focus on the most important, mission-critical tasks each day and night, and then share, delegate, delay or skip the rest.

From the start, ProFounder was created to make sure anyone could be empowered to pursue their dreams through entrepreneurship.

It's a powerful thing to know that you are empowering someone to lift themselves out of poverty.

The ventures that keep things light and fun, easy to understand, that have a compelling story, a sexy retail product, will have an easier time getting people to rally around them and contribute. A start-up doing something that's difficult to communicate or doesn't offer any kind of retail product will have a tougher go at it.

I believe in entrepreneurs. I believe in their ability to make positive change in the world.

Future is about creating value. If we have tools to empower each other, more possibility is reality.

I love having real conversations with entrepreneurs who have built their companies from the ground up, with nothing but their own drive, passion, and courage, and I'm constantly learning new things as I hear each one's unique journey.
