I can be pretty reactive, and I've learned over time to be less reactive: to stop and think before I make decisions.

I think many people go to business school and learn ways to play it safe, ensuring that they avoid some of the pain that entrepreneurs endure while taking less calculated risks.

I think it's important that everyone understands that there's no real prescription to having an awesome life.

I can show up at a Goldman Sachs conference wearing a Judas Priest T-shirt - and I have - while everyone else is wearing the same dress.

I learned the hard way that taking shortcuts and living for free is not really living free.

The time making money should be greater than the time that you are spending money.
