And if they're unwilling to share data points about an investment with you, walk away. There's another expert out there who's willing to share everything with you.” “At the end of the day, you need to feel confident with whoever you're partnering with.” “Paralysis in taking action comes from fear. It comes from fear of an obstacle, it comes from fear of a challenge coming your way, and there's nothing wrong with being afraid. But that's what courage is for."
