“I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard. You put so much of your life into this thing. There are such rough moments in time that I think most people give up. I don't blame them. It's really tough and it consumes your life. If you've got a family and you're in the early days of a company, I can't imagine how one could do it. I'm sure it's been done, but it's rough. It's pretty much an 18-hour day job, seven days a week for a while. Unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're not going to survive.”

“Passion is a very vague word. Some misuse it and many others get misused by it. Most people cannot even imagine the work in the process. They simply subscribe to the passion mindset to avoid suffering from work and their utter desire to play the blame game.”
