Lori Greiner knows entrepreneurship. The "Shark Tank" investor estimates that over the course of 17 years, she's created about 500 different products, and owns 120 patents, with more pending.
A key element of her success, and one she shares in her book, "Invent It, Sell It, Bank It!: Make Your Million-Dollar Idea Into a Reality," is that successful entrepreneurs will do whatever it takes to succeed.
In an interview with @danieldipiazza of Rich20Something, Greiner said that to this day, she's very hands-on — and she has that in common with most entrepreneurs.
"I have a quote that I always say, that I love, which is, 'Entrepreneurs are the only people who will work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 hours a week,'" she told DiPiazza. "And it is true, because we like to be our own bosses. And so if you're one of those people, you want to quit your day job, you don't want to punch a clock, you want to have freedom and also be freedom of your own destiny, this book tells you how."
And an entrepreneur doesn't leave the work to someone else. They work those 80 hours because they're in control of their own success. "You have to be committed and willing. That's one of the things I find happens with a lot of people: They want someone else to do it for them," Greiner said. "And the problem is, when you're an entrepreneur, there isn't somebody else to do it for you. You have to do it for you. But if you're willing to do that, then you're going to make it. Or you have a likelihood to make it."
You can enlist other people to help, she explains, but it's still up to you.

Everyone works. Some or the other thing, everyone does have a job. Most people work for the weekend. Most people work for spending everything in the bar on a Saturday night. That's one way to completely lose yourself on the track of life.
What do I work for?
-For achieving my long term goals. I'm not the party type. I'm the hustler who sits behind the computer at age of 16 to be standing on my own legs at age of 22 when guys of my age still live on their parents' incomes or are finding a job.
Take charge of your fucking life, people.
Hustle hard when kids of your age are partying out.
Grind hard when they sleep.
Gain knowledge in variety of fields when they are getting in and out of relationships.
Go for glory.
You may get broken, you may fall a countless times, but never forget to take risks. Because In the end, nothing can substitute the fucking experience and your taste of victory 🔥

Blue Monday ar fi, conform unui psiholog din Țara Galilor, cea mai deprimantă zi din an. Adică astăzi. A calculat el nefericirea de după Crăciun, frigul care încă domnește și distanța până la următorul salariu.
Se presupune că azi suntem cei mai triști!
Nu, nu, nu! Eu, de exemplu, îmi înec "albastru" în flori! Mărturie îmi stau drăgălășeniile acestea.
