0:00.0 | If a car is sitting on top of the hill in San Francisco and it starts to go downhill, |
0:04.6 | most of us just let it go downhill and at the bottom of the hill we try to stop it and we wonder why we're run over. |
0:10.1 | This is entrepreneurs, the playbook. |
0:12.1 | You know, feeling way down is just as bad as feeling way up. |
