My internalised misogyny that still manages to cloud some of my thinking.
An “elastic” sense of time (fancy way of saying I am late a lot).
I’d rather name one for someone else. I’m egomaniacal.
The rare moment I don’t believe in myself enough.
I try to find leverage points. Sure, I give to charities and those in need. But for me, I try to help people create and grow their companies, and build a future for people. The hope is that they can become self-sustaining and grow to be a pillar of their community. That’s what I love to do and think has the most impact.
I was never a big risk taker. When I started my first businesses, I really had nothing to lose. I was sleeping on the floor. I had five roommates in a three-bedroom apartment. My car was a junker. I had absolutely nothing to lose when I started MicroSolutions, so it really was never a risk.

I worked hard and smarter than most people in the businesses I have been in.
I’ll get half way through a book and then jump to another.
