They made more money and it was easier to do landscapign so they stopped agreeing to work for me. Fuck. So me and the illegals who were too old to do landscapign would do it. Anyways, that's how I got to $50k in sales. I digress. In early 2013, I was devleoping new product 7/n

I give my presentation. I lose. I am so fucking pissed. Like irate. I did all this and then I lost? the world is NOT FAIR. It's not supposed to be like this. I remember driving like 110 on i95 on the way back screaming. It destroyed me. And I lost to two middle-aged women 18/n

With no sales, no investment, nothing: just a plan for flashcards. The name of their business was TechNO! - lol what the fuck. Like that was how they spelled it. Great idea, guys. So I lost. The next day I got an e-mail from this guy named Bob. He was one of the judges 19/n

He wrote a long thoughtful e-mail and he said "hey, I really respect what you accomplished. Unlike all the other teams, you had real sales and showed you could actually make things and then sell it. You also said on one of your slides that you were looking for a mentor." 20/n

Bob became my mentor. He taught me so much. And I owe him hugely for that. What's the moral of the story? Even if you shit your pants in front of a ton of people, you have to keep going. Opportunities come at the strangest times. There is no failing, only giving up. 21/21
