Sometimes you buy the horse, sometimes you invest in the jockey. It really comes down to the actual business and the upside.

One problem people have is that they lie to themselves. Rarely is talent enough. You have to find ways to make yourself standout. You do so by playing to your strengths and making people aware of those strengths.

One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is that we lie to ourselves. We don't step back and look at ourselves like a competitor would.

If there was a template for success in sports, everyone would follow it. You do the best you can and trust the people you trust.

Do your homework and know your business better than anyone. Otherwise, someone who knows more and works harder will kick your ass.

What I do know, at least what I think I have learned from my experiences in business, is that when there is a rush for everyone to do the same thing, it becomes more difficult to do. Not easier. Harder.

It's not the dreaming, it's the doing.
