With every effort, I learned a lot. With every mistake and failure, not only mine, but of those around me, I learned what not to do. I also got to study the success of those I did business with as well. I had more than a healthy dose of fear, and an unlimited amount of hope, and more importantly, no limit on time and effort.

All good businesses are personal. The best businesses are very personal.

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.

If you don't follow the stock market, you are missing some amazing drama.

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

Business is the ultimate sport. In business, as in sport, the one thing you can control is effort.

I don't care what anyone says. Being rich is a good thing.
