I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard.

Kontext: 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. Its 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 its been done but its rough. Its pretty much an eighteen hour day job, seven days a week for awhile. Unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're not going to survive. You're going to give it up. So you've got to have an idea, or a problem or a wrong that you want to right that you're passionate about otherwise you're not going to have the perseverance to stick it through. I think that's half the battle right there.

„Ľudia ťa milujú, keď si úspešný. Ale ak nie si, koho skutočne zaujímaš?“
„Šťastní ľudia bývajú neúspešní, pretože sú spokojní sami so sebou, že je im všetko jedno.“
„Úspešní ľudia kladú lepšie otázky a vďaka tomu dostávajú lepšie odpovede.“
