Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“Be confident in who you are. Everyone learns at different points in life, I say when the student is ready the teacher will appear, sometimes we aren’t quite there yet or it’s a don’t know or can’t comply or won’t comply.

Neil’s Quote at the Beginning:
“Everywhere you turn, there are lists and statistics. Any business, any sport, any hobby – we will try to categorize who is the best at some component of that endeavor.

Other Quotes From the Chat with Mark Green:
- “I was taking command of a unit in Hawaii and my son was being corralled by my wife in the audience and he got loose as I was accepting the flag to take command of that unit and he came over to me and he said dad, are you the commander, and I said yea. He looks up to me with his little blue eyes and he says, then be the commander. I never forgot that because I think as an entrepreneur it’s the same way. The first question is, are you an entrepreneur, the answer is yes, the second question is, then be an entrepreneur. That was the best advice I’ve ever gotten was from a 5-year-old”
- “You’re going to fail; you should fail forward and not back”
