Ego is a double-edged sword. On one hand it is vital...But too much of a good thing can be dangerous.

My take is that smart financiers wait until aha before they climb aboard the bandwagon. Entrepreneurs need to bridge the capital gap from idea to aha with expertise, not capital or sophisticated market research.

Never let success get to your head and never let failure get to your heart.

If you make a mistake, don’t spend precious time and energy trying to deny it or point the finger at someone else. Be a leader and own it, then spend your time and energy fixing the problem. As I’ve already noted, start-ups often fail because founders want to be seen as the smartest person in the room, which means not being wrong. Making a mistake is going to happen. None of us is perfect. But the difference between success and failure is how you handle that mistake

Lots of folks want success without sacrifice. Life doesn't work that way. Be willing to pay the price for your dreams.

Just as no two entrepreneurs are alike, there is no one-size-fits-all start-up.

Make no mistake about it; money is first and foremost about freedom.

Kill your enemies with success and bury them with a smile.... Never fails.

Some people dream of success, others stay awake to achieve it.
