Quotes:
“You can be like the New York Yankees and have an endless amount of money. But too much money makes you stupid. If you don’t have money, you got to be creative. And you got to work.”
“Once you make a decision, go forward, take action. You have to watch your data. You have to keep learning from it. But you can’t wait to make everything perfect.”
