You can never be satisfied as an entrepreneur, and the basis of any successful, growing business is new clients.

If you are under the illusion that you can start a business and run it at your life's schedule, you are mistaken. The business is like a starving puppy - when it needs to eat, then it needs to eat regardless of what you have going on personally.

Business is a sprint until you find an opportunity, then it's the patience of a marathon runner.

I was raised by my grandmother on a farm, where we were really poor - we had dirt floors - but so did everybody else.

I have my mother's hips. The minute I eat it, it ends up on my hips.

I came from a communist country where there are no luxury cars.

People ask, 'Are entrepreneurs born, or are they made?' I think it's a combination of both.
