Philosophy
Achieving the Impossible is a Reality.
Achieving the impossible and pushing yourself to solve big problems that impact multiple industries will help keep you motivated during the ups and downs that almost all startups face. The most finite resource we have on this planet is time–so achieve the impossible. This philosophy has driven me more than anything else as a professional for almost 2 decades. Going big means thinking at a large scale. Are you spending your precious time on something that is truly worthwhile? Is the world a better place for having you and your work a part of it?
Thinking big is what kept me motivated during the long nights and lean times when finding investors had proved challenging.
Great minds think alike and understanding people don’t stand still.
