I’ve lived in Silicon Valley for quite some time. I’ve made my millions and bought and sold several different companies. What I’ve learned over the years, however, is that the most substantial companies I’ve built haven’t raised a penny. Because of this, I’d strongly encourage people to stop selling everything they own just to relocate […]
At some point you will have to make difficult decisions. Some bad and some good decisions will occur daily. For me, a very difficult decision was accepting the fact that my startup failed. Next hardest part was to bounce back from a bad decision. While the fail ended up being for the best — it […]

I’ve read that more than 70 percent of workers report that they’re not satisfied with their career choices. That may sound high — but to be honest, it’s not all that shocking. You put in mad hours, but aren’t any better financially or career-wise. You don’t have a personal connection with the company that you’re […]
I have no regrets about being an entrepreneur. Chasing my dreams and starting my own business was the best decision I ever made. That’s not to say that it’s always been easy. I’ve had businesses fail, sacrificed relationships, and had to deal with daily challenges. Handling upset customers or motivating employees are the smaller situations […]

Sometimes you don’t realize that you are down because you don’t dwell on these things. You get-up every morning, do your routine, head to work, go home, rinse, and repeat.
