In their words
the problem is a lot of us hang back thinking that what we want to happen in life will just happen to us we don't shoot our shot cuz either we're lazy or we're afraid we're afraid of rejection of not being good enough
as entrepreneurs we have chosen this path that nobody else wanted to take we are here because of our courage our audacity our perseverance to do what nobody else wanted to do
how badly do you want it if you're willing to give up on something that just tells me you don't really want it that badly in the first place so know what you want and go get it
