I'd rather invest in an entrepreneur who has failed before than one who assumes success from day one.

The road to riches is never straight and narrow. It can be riddled with financial land mines.

You may lose your wife, you may lose your dog, your mother may hate you. None of those things matter. What matters is that you achieve success and become free. Then you can do whatever you like.

I'm not trying to make friends, I'm trying to make money.

I have had some great successes and great failures. I think every entrepreneur has. I try to learn from all of them.

Don't cry about money, it never cries for you.

I'm proud to be on the CBC and to see the management here represents both sides of every story. This is what's unique about the new CBC: you get a Kevin O'Leary on it when five years ago you wouldn't.
