Business happens over years and years. Value is measured in the total upside of a business relationship, not by how much you squeezed out in any one deal.
It takes a lot of things to work together in order to be wealthy but with a little luck, a lot of luck... You've got to be good at something. For a 20-year-old, you don't have to know exactly what you want to do, you've just got to go find something you can be great at, and then go be great at it.
My first company was MicroSolutions. I worked 20 hours a day. I didn't take a vacation for 7 years. I didn't even take the time to read a fiction book. It was all about work.

I was a beast in college. I worked hard and I played hard. I was relentless learning about business. I actually snuck into MBA classes my freshman and sophomore years.

There is much more to starting a business than just understanding finance, accounting, and marketing. Teaching kids what has worked with startup companies and learning about experiences that others have had could really make a difference. I know it did for me.

Johnson's response then: ??I don't know, I don't know.
Kobe is a top-five player, and he proved it yesterday. I've watched Dirk, McGrady and other superstars take over games. When it happens it's amazing to watch.
Just the process of exploring the options has been very difficult.
You don't do that. We love the Cowboys.
That was the worst half of officiating I've ever seen. That was terrible, and I want it on the record I said that at halftime, no matter what the outcome.
