Dec 5th Blog

One of my favorite Romanians wrote a comment to one of the wallet pictures on my facebook profile the other day.

"U always make it happen,huh?" she said.

Well, here is the reality of "making it happen":
We all want our projects to succeed. In fact, we want EACH ONE of them to see success.
However in real life nine out of ten projects/ideas will never see the day light.
Most of them will never come together for different reasons, such as : not enough funding(or lack of it whatsoever), wrong timing, different priorities, etc.

BUT what you have to realize is: the failure is just a part of the game...
there are wins and there are losses. no need to kill yourself over your failures.
Each famous person had to go through numerous failures in order to claim fame and riches.

If I would suggest only one thing to a person who is interested in entrepreneurship, it would go like this:

Failure Is a Part Of The Game!

Stay Fresh Guys.

Peace,

Blog of the days that passed

Monday:

Two venture capitalists I've met on monday taught me that:

"Negotiation is NO luck!!!!"

One of them was from Belgium and the other one from Netherlands.
They were attending the Berkeley's Senior VC training. Pretty cool dudes who are doing big things.Both started off building companies. (the key)

The point is: they got in the training program for 4G's all together, where the program costs 6G's per person officially. I said, "you guys are lucky!" one of them cut me off and said "Negotiation has nothing to do with luck." For his input i'm grateful.

Some KEWL people I've met:
Mike Del Ponte. CEO/Founder of Conscious Lifestyle.
Jeff Denby. President of PACT Apparel

Tuesday:

While browsing on the net, I caught the following phrase:

"Ventures often fail; Entrepreneurs DON'T"

But check me out. Do you understand how fundamental this quote is? It makes me go WOW!


HOWEVER, just reading this two quotes will not change your life. BUT, if you make them part of your personal philosophy, these quotes will change your life.

and as Kaney West puts it in Go Hard, by Dj Khaled, "If you want it, then get at it!"

Peace,

Al

PS: Lupe Fiasco wants 60Gs for a show. WT? Lets make it 10, or less, and take it from there :D
