NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:


“I realized I didn’t want anybody to have the power to control my life. The only way to avoid that is to become an entrepreneur.” – Kevin O’Leary


“Real estate is local, local, local. You build a reputation; people come to you. Your customer acquisition cost goes to zero.” — Kevin O’Leary


“Every 18-hour day you're awake, there's three things you need to get done. There are always three things. That's the signal. Everything that stops you is the noise. The ratio has to be 80% signal, 20% noise.” — Kevin O’Leary


“I think the most interesting businesses are started in moments of high chaos… It's always worth giving it a shot to become an entrepreneur… The outcome is not about the rate of money; it's the pursuit of personal freedom.” — Kevin O’Leary


“There’s always going to be people trying to convince you of stuff. Listen to your gut. You’ll always be right.” — Kevin O’Leary
