One of the things that happens when people make the leap from a certain amount of money to tens of millions of dollars is that the people around you dramatically change.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't believe that I personally have been changed by the money. The bad thing is people assume you've changed because now you have money.
I think this happens to a lot of people, men and women, where you reach a point in your life and all of a sudden realize that things have changed. You suddenly realize that people are coming up behind you, that maybe somebody might want to replace you for less money.
Things change all the time, and they'll probably never be the same again. It's just the natural evolution of the human condition. Things change, and whatever it is is what it is. I mean, you try to start second guessing that, you either get rich or die broke.
Change is a great and horrible thing, and people love it or hate it at the same time. Without change, however, you just don't move.
The price of every thing rises and falls from time to time and place to place; and with every such change the purchasing power of money changes so far as that thing goes.
You're not changing the world at $500 million in revenue. You start making a true difference when you're doing billions in revenue.
People change because of kids. They change how they eat. They change the way they think. They change the way they see one another.
After certain ups and downs, a person does change, and I have changed for good.
Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there.
I think people who go out and tell you how much they're gonna change things are the people who end up being just another whatever. I'm never trying to change anything. That's not for me.
