If you're hungry for money, I guarantee you'll fail, 100%.
If you start into entrepreneurship and on a journey
and all you care about is getting rich, you will fail.
You will fail miserably.
Every entrepreneur, not some, every single one
that achieved some massive liquidity event
that I've talked to, and I've met many of them,
they don't even remember the day it happened.
They just woke up and said,
oh my goodness, I'm filthy rich.
But they weren't calculating for that.
It's because they created something of such value
that someone else said, well, we want to buy that business.
And you own whatever you owned of it.
And that's what happened to me.
I woke up one day and we sold the learning company
for $4.2 billion.
I was one of the founding members.
I had founder shares.
I wasn't even thinking about that the night before
when we were negotiating the deal.
And then the funny thing was when we all came back
to the office, the 10 of us that were founders,
we didn't know anything else except to go back to work.
We didn't even know what to do.
So the only difference was we were filthy rich.
