I read a biography of an entrepreneur every week and tell you what I learned on @founderspodcast
“I don’t really like pride. It’s sort of self-serving. It’s never good enough, so you can’t be proud. There’s always something wrong.
I’ve got to go on improving it. It’s just knowing that things could be better. I’ve got to make it better, and I’m just driven like that, so I’m never satisfied, and I think satisfaction’s a pretty dangerous thing anyway.”
