No one tells you that: -Money is seldom the reason why people don’t start businesses - fear of money is.

-Failures will far outnumber successes. Make failure a friend. Become familiar with it - know how to look it in the eye and find out more about it.

-People do business with people they like and are familiar with. To most people, YOU are the business.

-There is no good or bad investor; there are only right or wrong investors.

-What makes an entrepreneur special is the bridge of intelligence between the left and the right brain, the bridge between Business and Art.
