thinking process ifs
I think it's only failure if you put the word failure on it. I think it's part of the process of learning where you're going to go and what doesn't work.
moving taken next-week
The only thing that scares me in the tech area is that it moves so fast that you have to be ready to invest in 20 things. Because if you just invest in one, next week, somebody has a better mousetrap, and you get taken to the cleaners.

Everyone has an idea, but it’s taking those first steps toward turning that idea into a reality that are always the toughest.

Life is a cruel teacher. She loves to give you the test first and the lesson later.

An entrepreneur must pitch a potential investor for what the company is worth as well as sell the dream on how much of a profit can be made.

Money is a great slave but a horrible master.

I'm not a golf player. I think golf and fishing are the same, but at the end of the day, you can't fry up and golf ball and dip it in tartar sauce. So I'm a fisherman.
jobs homework rich
You don’t get rich off your day job, you get rich off your homework.

It takes the same energy to think small as it does to think big. So dream big and think bigger.
entrepreneur looks firsts
A savvy entrepreneur will not always look for investment money, first.

When you have a large amount of the workforce being laid off, some of them have no other choice but to go out there and invent something.
promise able audience
When you sell a product or service, you're making a promise to your audience. If you don't understand your audience, you'll never be able to keep that promise and you'll ultimately let them down.
