become your greatest asset. It ensures that you will absolutely be doing things di�erent
from everybody else.

Ben Silbermann PINTEREST
Don’t take too much advice. Most people who have a lot of advice to give — with a few exceptions — generalize
whatever they did. Don’t over-analyze everything. I myself have been guilty of over-thinking problems.
Just build things and find out if they work.

QUOTES FROM ENTREPRENEURS
Niklas Zennstrom SKYPE
If you want to be an entrepreneur, it’s not a job, it’s a lifestyle. It defines you. Forget about vacations, about going home
at 6pm – last thing at night you’ll send emails, first thing in the morning you’ll read emails, and you’ll wake up in the middle
of the night. But it’s hugely rewarding as you’re fulfilling something for yourself.
