"OF COURSE markets can be timed….ask Buffet or any number of fund managers that have had success for decades. Timing markets is for people that want to ride along in liquid securities and can hop off whenever they like…and there is value in that.

But that's not what you do.  It's not what WE do.

Entrepreneurs turn nothing into something.  You help.

We CREATE wealth.  We BUILD value.

There is no "bad time" to do that."

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

"Good morning, look at the valedictorian

Scared of the future while I hop in the Delorean

Scared to face the world, complacent career student

Some people graduate, but we still stupid"

"When a building is burning down, fireman coordinate their actions, make decisions and save lives.

They do this without Aeron desk chairs or Dunkin Donuts. They do it without subcommittees, McKinsey studies or input from the boss in another city.

To quote Al Pittampalli, "why bother going to a meeting if you're not prepared to change your mind?" To which I'd add, "Don't bother having a meeting if you're not there to change or make a decision right now."

Somewhere along the way, meetings changed into events where we wait for someone to take responsibility (while everyone else dives for cover).

How would you do it differently if the building were burning down? Because it is."

"The lesson I learned from this is that it’s easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time than it is to hold to them 98% of the time. If you give in to “just this once,” based on a marginal cost analysis, as some of my former classmates have done, you’ll regret where you end up. You’ve got to define for yourself what you stand for and draw the line.”

"There is an opportunity to build the next Facebook, the next Google, right in front of you.  Why do I know it, one it's obvious and two it's always been true.  You just have to find it."
