>> So, I would say keep the passion.
A lot of you are going to get a lot of no's, a lot of obstacle.
But if you're passionate about it, go for it but don't go for it just blindly.
Make sure you take a lot of advices, talk to people like me, alumni.
There are a lot of people out there willing to talk to you.
And get some experience.
Just don't jump right into it.
Go work for a company.
And that really helps you to be successful.
Like, one of the reason why I'm successful right now is
because I did work for a lot of companies.
I made a lot of mistake or I watch a lot of people making mistake to help me get here so.
So, you definitely need people skills.
You need to surround yourself with people,
relationship because you can afford to hire a lot of people.
So, you need to make sure you have a good network of people that you can bounce off idea.
Whether you need CFO work, whether you need financial advice, or operational advice
or sales strategy, if you surround yourself with people throughout your career or academic,
bounce off idea and listen so -- you know, learn, you know,
through my humble experiences that you need to listen.
And even if you dismiss advice, it's always good to bounce off ideas off of somebody.
That mitigates some of the risk.
So, that's one thing.
Other things are if you have --
if you're empowered and have a capability of hire, hire great people.
Hire people that challenge you.
Hire people that compliment you and that ultimately help you to grow.
