At yesterday’s Senate hearing, I shared a story that every American entrepreneur already knows too well. You build something great. You invest your own money, blood, sweat, and tears. You prove it in the U.S. market. Then, BOOM — one day you wake up and see your product, your innovation, being sold on Alibaba. Knocked off. Branded like yours, but you’re not getting a single dollar. This is the reality for thousands of American small businesses. And it’s been happening for decades. I’m done watch

If you’re 20 and have $1,000, put it in a stock index and forget about it. Add to it every week. The market has delivered close to 10–12% a year over the long run. Start early, stay consistent, and you’ll retire rich. | Kevin O'Leary

There’s no such thing as work/life balance when you’re pursuing entrepreneurship. You have to work 25hrs a a day, 8 days a week if you want to set yourself free. You have to be myopically focused because you’re competing in a global market and there’s always someone out there who’s gonna kick your a*s if you’re not all in. | Kevin O'Leary
