Neil’s Quote at the Beginning:
“When you think of it, really there are four fundamental questions of life. You’ve asked them, I’ve asked them, every thinking person asks them. They boil down to this; origin, meaning, morality and destiny. ‘How did I come into being? What brings life meaning? How do I know right from wrong? Where am I headed after I die?’” Ravi Zacharias
Other Quotes From the Chat with Duc Luu:
- “How do you teach someone to become an entrepreneur? And I thought it was a bit of an odd question because it’s like saying how do you teach someone to become an actor or to become a professional athlete, yes there is some coaching involved etcetera, there’s some refining of raw talent or raw intention but at the end of the day you have to want to be an entrepreneur, you have to be willing to take risk you have to be able to break down barriers and if you don’t have that in your personality, somewhere deep down inside, I don’t think you’ll be as successful as you want to be in starting and running your own business”
- “You have to have a product people want”
