Other Quotes From the Chat with Fred Hubler:
- “very rarely do you make a lifelong huge amount of money working for someone else because for that to be economically viable they have to still be making more than they are paying you”
- “whoever ate the fortune cookie that says may you live in interesting times I honestly could not have picked the best worst time to start. But the downside of that was no money was being made, no one wanted to invest”
- “every one of the things that were the worst things ended up being building blocks for where I am now. And I couldn’t be where I was if it wasn’t for those things. So, it’s interesting the worst things become the ingredients for the best things later in life”
- “those assumptions that we all make on a day to day basis if it’s impacting how you are running your business or what kind of business you are going to do you need to question everything… So, question everything especially the things you think that absolutely are true. They will probably be the most untrue once you scratch the surface”
- “no one is going to believe in you until you do it and you are not going to do it unless you believe in yourself because you are probably doing something that you haven’t done before that you are not known for. And there are so many times that you have to leap and then find the net. If you wait for everything to be perfect nothing will ever be perfect and you will never try”
- “every decision you make even if it doesn’t go your way it is still learning experience. You get experience by making bad decisions and then that gives you the experience to make better decisions in the future”
- “it’s never going to be easy and the things that you think are going to be the easiest tend to be the hardest and the things you think are going to be the hardest tend to be the easiest… You know that you don’t know everything and what you think might happen isn’t what happens at all”
- “your loneliest times are when things don’t go your way. You have all the friends in the world when things are going your way. It’s when things aren’t going your way that you are your only friend and you need to have the courage to know that things are going to get better and that you are going to figure out a way around it”
