One fake friend can do more harm than 10 enemies... Be smart choosing your friends. - Ziad Abdelnour

Be careful who you trust, the devil was once an angel.

Start-ups fail for a lot of different reasons, but one I see repeatedly is ego. It presents as a dangerous sense of self-importance. Or the entrepreneur thinks they are the smartest person in the room who knows better than anyone else and either doesn’t seek out advice or doesn’t want to listen when it’s offered. Such know-it-alls delude themselves into thinking they have everything figured out, even though they don’t. For as hard as it is to elbow your way into the marketplace in ideal circumstances, it’s made exponentially harder when you don’t check your ego at the door.

All of us, try to eliminate risk from our lives. The sad thing about risk is that when you eliminate risk you also eliminate the future.
