If businesses grow large enough, they inevitably enter the advertising arena. Consider the examples of Amazon, Netflix, Apple, and Walmart.

Can happiness coexist with competitiveness? How does one navigate the tension between the two? By nature, competitiveness stems from dissatisfaction—a driving force behind the relentless pursuit of improvement.

Everyone thinks that being an entrepreneur is about success. It is not. It is a bit of a paradox, but it is about failing. Yes, failing, then iterating, failing, and iterating again. It is fun to talk about your wins, but I think it's more important to talk about your losses.

Easily the most important decision you will ever make is who you marry. - Can you work through inevitable issues? - Support each other through tough times? - Raise kids together? - See eye to eye on finances? Marriage is work but a whole lot easier with a good partner.

Every aspect of my work involves sales. Whether I'm presenting myself, pitching my vision to customers, attracting investors, or recruiting potential employees, I am always selling. Dislike sales? Then entrepreneurship might not be the right path for you.

Early in my career, someone advised me to 'always bias toward action.' You might make mistakes, but you can learn from them. If you never make mistakes, you never progress and you never learn. Take that risk. Be a pioneer.
