" - Jay Samit " I tell people: walk around for one month and write down three problems in your life every day. At first it’s easy – you got stuck in traffic, you missed your alarm – but by the end of the month you’re looking really hard to get your 90 problems. The most common things on your list are now billion-dollar businesses. " - Jay Samit
