Most rewarding: The opportunity to make a difference and create a huge company that blazes new trails
Most frustrating: Something always goes bump in the night.
Realizing ones mistakes and course correcting.
1. I don't believe in the no-win scenario
2. Must have passion, drive and no substitute for hard work
3. Always anticipate ahead
