I think most entrepreneurs would refer to themselves as "accidental". No one looks for stress and pain. You stumble on to it.

When someone stands you up for a meeting, sure, you have the right to be disappointed, and perhaps even angry. But you can't take it personally - they probably do it to everyone.

I battle to fall asleep at night. My mind races every other night. I have always been like this, for as long as I can reminder.

Never invest in ideas, only in people!

When things go right (and they go right a lot - you just got to keep trying) there is nothing to really laugh about.

Today, where you come from seems less and less important, as globalization is the new order. I prefer the old world.

No one looks for pots of gold, it just happens. Sure, some people are born with an incredible financial ability, and some people are natural salesmen, but creating a business, driving a venture, mobilizing an army, is not something you are born to do - it just happens, by accident.
