Summary I’ve learned that business success isn’t about chasing the latest tactic or method—those always expire. What truly matters is the model you build. You need a model that allows you to make more money from a customer than your competitors do. The number one rule in business is simple: don’t run out of money….
Summary I learned that the times I felt loneliest were when I was too different from my old friends, but not yet successful enough to be accepted by the people I admired. The hardest point is when you want others to root for you but haven’t “made it” yet—and that’s exactly when you need support…
