QUOTES

I aim not to be clever but to be dogged, and my doggedness has gotten me so far.

Even building a company, it feels the same. You're calculating the moves... It's like a tree search, where you're exploring the different options in the decision tree, and you're trying to figure out how to lead to victory. That's the only thing I do in my life.

Our competitors had these elongated supply chains. They had distributors and dealers, so they would have like 90 days of collective inventory from the time that they actually made the product to when it actually got to the customer. And you could actually understand this because if you opened up the computers, the chips had dates on them. So, you could literally date how old the inventory was.

Learn, build, share, repeat.

Sales cure all woes.

If you do things for the right reasons in business, money will come.

I never imagined myself doing anything else other than starting a business. The idea just was in my consciousness from a very early age.

Problems are your friend. You don't want to just tolerate problems. You want to embrace problems. You want to hug problems. Problems are the way you succeed. You want to run to the fire. You don't want to run away from the fire.

It's not borrowing money that's the problem, it's involving people who don't understand startups and the pain you have to go through.

You don't necessarily want everybody to know what you're doing. I think there's a human instinct to say, 'Hey, look at me. I'm doing this great thing. Isn't this cool?' But, actually, in business, it's better if the competitor doesn't understand or doesn't see you.
