You know, being an entrepreneur is super hard work, and if you're not passionate about what you're doing, you're probably not going to succeed.

This is my advice to entrepreneurs. It's easy to give up, but believe in your ideas. Surround yourself with people you respect and are smarter than you.

I could try to incorporate or reflect in my models what it is that an employee, manager, or entrepreneur does: to recognize that most are engaged in their work, form expectations and evolve beliefs, solve problems, and have ideas. Trying to put these people into economic models became my project.

Life is like the monkey bars: you have to let go to move forward. Once you make the decision to leap into entrepreneurship, be sure to loosen your grasp on old concepts so you can swing your way to new ones.

I always had this desire to be an entrepreneur, except I felt I didn't really know what I was doing.

There's an idealization of being an entrepreneur, but the most important thing is to have a really great idea.

As an entrepreneur, what drives you has to be the good news; otherwise, you just don't get out of bed.

I think, as an entrepreneur, you have to see the unlimited amount of potential but concentrate on your day and just keep building.

I have met many entrepreneurs who have the passion and even the work ethic to succeed - but who are so obsessed with an idea that they don't see its obvious flaws. Think about that. If you can't even acknowledge your failures, how can you cut the rope and move on?
