Notable quotes
“I use my intuition a lot when assessing potential investments. I will look back to my failures and successes and think about how they relate to the business we are thinking of investing in.”
“Risk appetite is crucial for entrepreneurs. If you can't handle the risk and you're stressed out all the time, all you'll do is focus on getting to the finishing line. If you can handle the risk, you are free of worry and can immerse yourself… diving headfirst into your venture. That's where the winners come out.”
“Wealth is not an end in itself, it's just one of many indicators as to how you're doing.”
