Quotes:

“If you can’t sell Rubik’s Cubes, don’t start a Rubik’s Cube company.”

“You can’t take any of it personally. Things happen  –– it’s okay.”

“Sustainably do something you love every day. I say sustainably because you need to make a living, you need to make money, whatever that means to you, but you gotta just enjoy it. Life’s too short. It’s not just about money. There are plenty of rich people who are miserable –– that to me is not success.”

“Just get shit done. What are you actually doing? Don’t get caught up it the buzzwords and the hype and all the talk. Just go to work. Get something done.”

“If you have to raise money to get your product to market, you have the wrong team, or you’re the wrong person.”
