The key to most start-up successes is seeing a need and filling it. - Ziad Abdelnour

Money is a tool that can either fix or damage your life. Use it wisely.

If you’re going to do something, do something that matters. Don't waste your time doing stupid things with even bigger losers going nowhere.

When people tell you that this
venerable firm or private investor invested X millions of dollars in
that entity and that it is a good investment, be skeptical and stay open
to the option of running as far as you can in the opposite direction.
We have all seen the biggest names on Wall Street along with the
largest sovereign wealth funds on the planet make the dumbest investments
ever made. Do your due diligence; ask the right questions, and
most important, check out the character of the people involved unless
you want to end up being prey to another master of the universe à
la Bernie Madoff.
