A goal is different from a wish. You may wish to be rich, but there's no responsibility for it. With a goal, it's on you to achieve it.

It's more important to grow your income than cut your expenses. It's more important to grow your spirit that cut your dreams.

As I said, I wish I could say it was easy. It wasn't, but it wasn't hard either. But without a strong reason or purpose, anything in life is hard.

I've actually taken companies public, I've actually busted companies, I've actually gone broke.

Once a person gains experience and a good reputation, it takes less and less money to create bigger and bigger investments.

Everyone can tell you the risk. An entrepreneur can see the reward.

"Why is the creative entrepreneur the riskiest type to be?" I asked. "Because being creative means you are often a pioneer. It is easy to copy a successful and proven product. It is also less risky. If you learn to innovate, create, or invent your way to success, you are an entrepreneur creating new value rather than an entrepreneur who wins by copying."
