I was one of those guys who never wanted to start their own business. I never saw myself as a leader. I saw myself as a great No. 2.

Older cars tend to drive like older cars. That is not for me.

When I was a waiter, I wanted to be the best waiter I could be and worked to be better at it every day.

It is human nature, especially as we get older, to look for stability in our lives. But if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to fight against that somewhat, as starting a business requires movement. You cannot stay still.

Successful businesspeople retain a quality most others not only lack but often fail to comprehend, and that's the unrelenting drive to convert a vision into reality. They are driven to realize this goal in a manner that appears to defy logic among others who lack this drive.

I'm really inspired to build a billion-dollar company. The hardest part is building the vehicle to get you there.
