“I hear too often from people that they are waiting until the right deal or idea comes along and when it comes they’ll be ready to strike. This is a rather passive approach. Successful business leaders and investors are proactive hunters, creating ideas where they did not necessarily exist. They can handle some ambiguity, believe deeply in themselves, and understand that the starting point may not be perfect.”
