Listen. Take the best. Leave the rest.

Entrepreneursh ip is not about getting one over on the customer. It’s not about working on your own. It’s not about looking out for number one. It’s not necessarily about making a lot of money. It is absolutely not about letting work take over your life. On the contrary, it’s about turning what excites you in life into capital, so that you can do more of it and move forward with it.

People have to decide on priorities if they want to get anywhere. The best lessons I learned was to just do it.

My very first venture was a national student magazine to try to campaign against the [Vietnam] War. And so I wanted to be an editor. I wanted to bring the magazine out. And in order for the magazine to survive I had to worry about the printing and the paper manufacturing and the distribution. And, you know, I had to try to, at the end of the year, have more money coming in than going out.

Purpose is not an add-on, it’s not an initiative. It is a culture change and it never finishes

I never set out to be a businessman

I like challenges in life and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
