There is no sport as competitive as business. It's 24 by 7 by 365 by forever.

What I’ve learned in these 11 years is you just got to stay focused and believe in yourself and trust your own ability and judgment.

Being rich is a good thing. Not just in the obvious sense of benefitting you and your family, but in the broader sense. Profits are not a zero sum game. The more you make, the more of a financial impact you can have.

I like being involved in businesses where you are kicking ass.

If you have managers reporting to managers in a startup, you will fail.

In every job, I would justify it in my mind, whether I loved it or hated it, that I was getting paid to learn and every experience would be of value when I figured out what I wanted to do when I grew up.

Nothing can kill the future dreams and goals of a new graduate than 50k of debt like an anvil over your head. I got to Indiana University not because I visited the campus and loved everything about it. I picked Indiana University because I saw a list of the top 10 business schools and it was the cheapest.
