When I sold my first business, I wanted to do something nice for my dad. I wanted to give my parents a bunch of money, but they wouldn't take anything from me. They were so happy for me; they felt they didn't need money.
From Robert Herjavec
I was one of those guys who never wanted to start their own business. I never saw myself as a leader. I saw myself as a great No. 2.
I'm really inspired to build a billion-dollar company. The hardest part is building the vehicle to get you there.
I never dreamed I could build a $100 million company. I just happened to build a $1 million company that became a $5 million company, and so on.
I was raised by my grandmother on a farm, where we were really poor - we had dirt floors - but so did everybody else.
People ask, 'Are entrepreneurs born, or are they made?' I think it's a combination of both.
The idea of getting a lifetime job, and making $100,000 a year, with benefits, is dead and gone. It's over. And it may never come again. That's a very scary thought for a lot of people.
Business is a sprint until you find an opportunity, then it's the patience of a marathon runner.
You can never be satisfied as an entrepreneur, and the basis of any successful, growing business is new clients.
When I was a waiter, I wanted to be the best waiter I could be and worked to be better at it every day.
