Notable Quotes:
“But if you have the persistence, if you have the grit, if you have the resilience, all of that builds up over time and you build up that shell.”
“The freedom that comes with being an entrepreneur, being a startup founder, being able to do your own thing and make your own schedule and then decide what’s important.”
“On the days that you most want to not do it when you most want to stay in bed, those are the days when you absolutely have to do it.”
“Just do something because it’s not going to be the first idea or the second idea, but that’ll lead you eventually to something that might work. But you just have to start doing something. If you don’t start, you’ll never come up with the perfect, you know, idea or business just sitting in a room thinking about it.”
